The Miami Dolphins had a challenging 2024 season, finishing 8-9 and missing the playoffs. Their struggles intensified when star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed considerable time due to another serious head injury. There is hope for 2025, but the road ahead might be tougher than expected for both Tagovailoa and the offense, as suggested by a notable league insider.
“#Dolphins five-time Pro Bowl LT Terron Armstead is retiring, officially ending a star-studded 12-year career. Armstead was one of the best left tackles of his generation beginning with his stint with the #Saints,” reported NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the news. One user expressed, “Maybe one day, we (Dolphins fans) can have some great players throughout their careers. We’ve had some early talents (Wilkins, Laremy Tunsil, Minkah, Hunt) and some late arrivals (Reggie Bush, Calais, Terron), with much of their best work done elsewhere,” while another commented, “And everyone hated Ryan Poles for not signing this man 3 years ago… injured all the time and now retired… who would have seen that coming?” Another fan remarked, “Great career! Thanks for everything you’ve done from the Saints to the Dolphins!”
It’ll be intriguing to see who the Dolphins bring in to ensure Tagovailoa’s safety moving forward.
