Last night, in a game between the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left the game after a massive hit and was eventually ruled out with a concussion.
Tagovailoa has a big concussion history, and unfortunately, concerns about his health and his future emerged, with many experts suggesting he should retire. Long-term consequences of head injuries are well-known, and at this point, people are worried about the player's general well-being.
Unfortunately, retirement sounds like a real option for the 26-year-old QB and if that happens, the Dolphins will find themselves in a tough spot at this position.
An interesting option emerged, suggesting that the legendary NFLer Tom Brady could replace him.
Even if he retired (twice), the Dolphins already approached him in the past and he lives in Florida, making this option a true possibility, according to NFL experts:
With two of the best receivers playing for the Dolphins (Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle), Brady could be tempted to make a return and try to win one last Super Bowl title with Miami.
Since he walked away from the game, Brady stayed in shape and with his natural talent, there's no doubt he could come back to help any NFL team win.
This matter will be interesting to follow in the next few weeks as Dolphins fans worry they might be stuck with backup QB Skylar Thompson for the whole season. Getting Brady wouldn't only be a big marketing move, but it could help them achieve their goals of winning a first championship since 1973.
