Update:
The Miami Dolphins have apparently found their new quarterback, at least in the short term.
Free agent quarterback Malik Willis confirms to the Pat McAfee Show he's a Dolphins.
Willis most recently played for Green Bay, so the Fins new General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and Head Coach Jeff Hafley, both from the Packers, knew him.
With five picks in the upcoming draft, the voice of the Dolphins Jimmy Cefalo thinks the team is looking to the future.

As the NFL free agency kicks off Monday, the Miami Dolphins are announcing they have cut #1 signal caller Tua Tagovailoa loose.
Dolphins' general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan says, 'I recently informed Tua and his representation that we are going to move in a new direction at the quarterback position and will be releasing him after the start of the new league year."
'As I shared with Tua, I have great respect for the person and player he is. On behalf of the Miami Dolphins, I expressed our gratitude for his many contributions, both on the field and in the community, during his six seasons in Miami.'
'As we move forward, we will be focused on infusing competition across the roster and establishing a strong foundation for this team as we work towards building a sustained winner.'
At the same time the Dolphins are thanking Tua for his efforts they are absorbing a massive $99 million in dead money split over two years, which is an NFL record.
