Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will look to build on his 2023 performance after signing a lucrative contract extension, but recent NFL history suggests it's not a given.
The Miami Dolphins showed with their financial commitment they have all the confidence possible that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will get them where they want to go at some point.
"Now that all of this is done, this is behind us, we know heavy is the crown, so whoever’s wearing that, like right now, I’m the highest-paid employee in this in this office," Tua said during a press conference Sunday. "I’ve got to get my whatever together, I’ve got to get that right and get our guys moving in the direction that we need to go, to be able to do those things.
While circumstances vary and this doesn't mean we should assume anything regarding Love, Lawrence or more importantly Tua's projected performance in 2024, there clearly is a trend.Before this offseason, there had been eight quarterbacks to get massive second contracts with the team that drafted them: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones.
