The Miami Dolphins could be the first NFL franchise to divorce from daily fantasy sports, according to Sporting News.

But those brands have taken a hit this month after a DraftKings employee won $350,000 in a FanDuel competition, sparking calls for regulation in the largely unchecked multibillion-dollar industry.

The Dolphins on Thursday became the first NFL team to comment on the developments. 

"We would need to consider all of our options, including termination, if their business model is deemed to be unlawful," the team said in a statement, via the Boston Globe. 

Currently 29 of the NFL's 32 teams have advertising deals with FanDuel, Draft Kings, or Yahoo.
