The Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa have reportedly agreed on a four-year, $212.4 million extension, the largest ever over a four-year period.
After the best season of his career, Tua Tagovailoa isn't going anywhere. He and the Miami Dolphins have reportedly agreed on a four-year deal with $212.4 million with $167 million guaranteed. The $212.4 million is the 10th-largest in NFL history, and the largest over a four-year span in league history, as well.
His average salary of $53.1 million per season is the third-highest in NFL history, behind only Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. Tagoavailoa has been a polarizing quarterback since he was drafted fifth overall out of Alabama in 2020. He suffered two documented concussions in 2023, one of which saw his fingers curl up, causing a major shakeup in the league's concussion protocol. He appeared dizzy just four days prior and fell to the turf, but he played on Thursday night anyway.
However, he played all 17 games last season for the first time in his career and set career highs in yards , touchdowns , completion percentage , and wins . The Dolphins lost the AFC East title on their home turf in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, and then had to travel to sub-zero temperatures in Kansas City against the Chiefs, who beat them, 26-7, en route to winning their second consecutive Super Bowl.
Tagovailoa is now the seventh quarterback to earn an average per-year salary of over $50 million ever , joining Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Jared Goff, Lawrence and Burrow. In his career , he has completed 66.9% of his passes for 12,639 yards, 81 touchdowns, and a 32-19 record.
