The New Orleans Saints' quarterback situation continues to draw attention following the retirement of veteran Derek Carr.
With over $30 million in cap relief over the next two years and a major void at the most important position on the field, speculation about who might step in under center has only intensified.
Tua Tagovailoa trade buzz builds
Currently, the Saints have a mix of young talent in their QB room, including Tyler Shough, Jake Haener, and Spencer Rattler.
But with no established starter and expectations to remain competitive in 2025, many believe the team may seek a proven veteran to stabilize the offense.
One name recently floated: Tua Tagovailoa.
Alec Sanner of The Sporting News proposed the idea after reports surfaced that the Miami Dolphins quarterback had listed his South Florida home for sale.
While players selling property doesn't always signal a move, it's enough to raise eyebrows, especially when the Saints are in the market for a quarterback.
Tagovailoa's departure from Miami seems unlikely on the surface.
The former No. 5 overall pick signed a four-year, $212 million extension last year and has been central to the Dolphins' long-term plans.
However, concerns remain about his durability after he missed significant time in 2024, and Miami's front-loaded 2025 schedule could place added pressure on his early-season performance.
Despite the chatter, it's important to note that Tua was also reportedly purchasing a new home in Florida, suggesting he may simply be upgrading rather than relocating.
Still, in a league where quarterback rumors rarely die quietly, any perceived movement involving a high-profile player can set off speculation.
Financially, acquiring Tagovailoa would be a major commitment for the Saints.
At an average salary north of $50 million annually, taking on his contract could reignite the cap issues New Orleans has been battling for years.
Even with recent cap relief, the price tag may be too steep for a franchise still rebuilding its roster.
While the idea remains speculative and arguably far-fetched, the Saints' quarterback question remains unanswered.
Until they settle on a clear direction, names like Tagovailoa will continue to swirl in the conversation.
