It's been in the pipeline for weeks, it's official: Tua Tagovailoa is extending his contract with the Miami Dolphins. It was announced by journalist Adam Schefter on X. The contract is for 4 years and $212.4 million, including $167 million guaranteed. With this contract, the former Alabama quarterback becomes the third highest paid quarterback in the league, behind Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow.
After an up-and-down start to his career and repeated injuries, Tagovailoa has shown the extent of his talent in the last two years. The former 5th overall draft pick plays in a very vertical system, perfect for making the most of his abilities.
In a very competitive AFC, the Dolphins can now move forward serenely towards the 2024 season.
