Still, the reports persist about the Dolphins’ interest in acquiring Deshaun Watson.

The Watson deal would be complicated by the fact that the Texans quarterback has 22 pending civil allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct.

For his part, Flores continues to show support for his current quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.

Flores said, “I like to think I’ve very honest with the guys. That’s kind of been my philosophy and just how I’ll continue to interact with players. I think these guys work hard. They’re resilient. They give great effort. They should keep their heads up. At the same time, we’ve got to do better and that’s really as direct and honest as I can be and that’s been the message to them.”

Flores added, “I mean I don’t really get into rumors. I don’t really pay attention to rumors and hypotheticals and this and that. Tua is our quarterback. I’ve said that multiple times and I’ve said that to him and that’s about as - I try to be honest and transparent with our players and that’s what I’ve been.”
