The Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have agreed to a four-year $212.4 million contract extension with $165 million guaranteed.
After months of posturing, the Dolphins have finally secured their foreseeable future by agreeing to terms with Tua Tagovailoa on a lucrative contract extension. Throughout the offseason, there have been plenty of rumors that both sides have been negotiating on a deal, but now we can finally say Tagovailoa has been shown the money. This deal slides Tagolvailoa into the third spot as one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL with $53.1 million per season.
Tagovailoa has fought through adversity since coming into the NFL. From suffering a career-threatening hip injury in his final season at Alabama to the numerous concussions he had in his first couple of seasons in the league that almost caused him to retire. Through hard work and determination, Tagovailoa had a career year in 2023, tossing for 4,624 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He proved he could stay healthy and played all 17 games for the first time.
With Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, Jaylen Wright, and Jonnu Smith on offense, how could you not love and want Tagovailoa as your quarterback in not only dynasty leagues but in redraft as well? He’s accurate and should be ready for another fine season with head coach Mike McDaniel calling plays. Tagovailoa’s only flaw is that he is not a running quarterback but in my opinion, it’s a blessing in disguise since it prevents him from getting extra hits. In dynasty leagues, Tagovailoa should produce mid-QB1 numbers with all that talent on offense. Just pray for his health and enjoy the ride.
