MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Jan. 22 (UPI) -- The Miami Dolphins will have a "very active" quarterback hunt, but are open to Tua Tagovailoa's return, general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said.

Sullivan, who was hired Jan. 9, and coach Jeff Hafley, who was hired Monday, met with reporters for their introductory news conference Thursday in Miami Gardens, Fla.

"Obviously, that is a huge question looming over the organization," Sullivan said, when asked about Tagovailoa's future. "I'd be naive to think that everybody doesn't understand that."

Tagovailoa, who signed a four-year, $212.4 million extension with the Dolphins in 2024, but was benched this season, did not attend. He said earlier this month that he would support moving to another team this off-season.
