Brian Flores’ answer on Friday from when he was first asked about the future of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa months ago.
“Tua’s our quarterback,” Flores said.
That’s not in dispute — for now, at least.
The NFL trade deadline is about a week and a half away. And the calendar getting closer to Nov. 2 combined with Miami on a five-game losing streak means it was inevitable that the buzz suggesting that the Dolphins may be looking to acquire embattled Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson — who has been accused of sexual assault and harassment in lawsuits filed by 22 women, but not charged — would get louder.
Last year, the Dolphins went 10-6 *and* had the #3 pick.
Now they’re 1-5 *and* won’t have their (likely very high) draft pick.
