A MASSIVE SETBACKA: “I’m leaving ” Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson officially announced his departure from the team due to…

“It’s with a heavy heart that I have decided to step away from football,” Thompson said in a statement.

Thompson’s decision to leave the Dolphins has come as a shock to many fans and analysts, who had high hopes for the young quarterback’s future with the team.

Despite having a strong start to his career, Thompson had been struggling with his health and performance in recent weeks, leading to speculation that he may be dealing with an undisclosed issue.

“I knew something was wrong, but I never imagined it would be this serious,” said one Dolphins insider. “We all had high hopes for Skylar, and this is a real blow to the team.”

While the specifics of Thompson’s injury have not been disclosed, the Dolphins have issued a statement expressing their support for the young quarterback and their regret at his departure.

“We are deeply saddened by Skylar’s decision to leave the team, but we respect his choice and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” the statement read. “He was a talented player and a valuable member of the Dolphins family, and we will miss him on the field.”

As the Dolphins look to adjust to life without Thompson, many are wondering what this means for the team’s quarterback situation moving forward.

Thompson’s departure leaves the Dolphins with two other quarterbacks, Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater, who will now be competing for the starting position.

While Tagovailoa has been the team’s starter for several seasons, his inconsistent performance and injury history have raised questions about his ability to lead the team to success. Bridgewater, on the other hand, has been a reliable backup but has not had much opportunity to prove himself as a starter.

“We’re going to have to make some tough decisions about our quarterback situation in the coming weeks,” said one Dolphins coach.
