The message is clear: Miami is not looking for a quarterback. The Dolphins have, this Friday, activated the fifth optional year of the rookie contract of Tua Tagovailoa. However, they had until May 1 to decide.
If doubts have begun to germinate recently about the Dolphins’ desire to register their immediate future with Tua, victim of repeated concussions, this act comes to sweep away these doubts since Miami should therefore logically have Tua at the helm of the attack for the next two seasons.
Drafted in 2020, Tagovailoa is only at the start of its fourth season. He will be paid the rookie salary ($1 million) in 2023. With this activation of the fifth year option, it will however be the jackpot in 2024 with a salary of $23 million.
Miami also gives itself the time to form a definitive opinion on Tagovailoa, to avoid finding itself in the position of the Giants who had not activated the 5th year of Daniel Jones, forced to extend it at a high price a few days ago. .
