Insider Says Dolphins Have Made A Decision About Tua Tagovailoa’s Future

The Miami Dolphins have made a decision about Tua Tagovailoa’s future with the team, as reported by Cameron Wolfe in a conversation with NFL Network’s “Path to the Draft.” According to Wolfe, Tua Tagovailoa is the Dolphins’ quarterback for the present and the future, as confirmed by sources within the organization.

Tagovailoa’s tenure with the Dolphins has been a rollercoaster ride, with mixed opinions from fans and analysts regarding his ability to lead the team. His injury history has been a significant concern, causing him to miss significant time during the 2022 season. However, his performance in the 2023 season has been impressive, with the Dolphins achieving a 4-1 record in the first five weeks, averaging an impressive 8.3 yards per play, 6.9 yards per rush, and 9.8 net yards per pass, while scoring 36.2 offensive points per game.

Despite his regular-season success, the Dolphins struggled against good teams throughout the year, and their offense faltered in the playoffs, losing the opening game to the Chiefs 7-26. Tagovailoa’s contract, which guarantees him $23.2 million in the final year, presents the Dolphins with three options: extending his contract, making him earn an extension with better play, or trading for a different quarterback.

The Dolphins’ decision to extend Tagovailoa’s contract is not without its challenges, as questions remain about his ability to carry the team independently. The disappointing playoff performance has intensified the scrutiny, with some questioning if Tagovailoa can lead the Dolphins to the desired heights. The Dolphins’ financial constraints and limited draft options further complicate the decision-making process.

Despite these challenges, Tagovailoa is excited about his future in Miami, and a massive contract extension is expected over the coming months. The Dolphins’ decision to pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal indicates their commitment to him as their quarterback for the foreseeable future.

Tagovailoa has yet to finalize a contract extension, a matter that has been a point of contention for several months. While other young quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts have secured extensions, Tagovailoa’s situation remains unresolved.
Despite this, Cameron Wolfe’s remarks should offer optimism to Dolphins fans. If Tagovailoa and the team’s key players can maintain their health, the Dolphins have the potential for a successful playoff run.
Even without a new contract like some of his peers, Tagovailoa has the opportunity to showcase his abilities and make a strong case for himself in the upcoming 2024 season.
