The Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million extension, the largest in franchise history, his agency told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The $53.1 million average value of the contract puts Tagovailoa third among the league’s highest-paid quarterbacks, behind only the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ Trevor Lawrence and Cincinnati Bengals‘ Joe Burrow (both $55 million). The deal includes $167 million guaranteed, which is eighth most among quarterbacks, but still an absurd amount of money.
This agreement brings an end to a distracting first two days of training camp, in which Tua was practicing but was limited. Tagovailoa participated in standard drills but was not a part of 11-on-11.
Tagovailoa is now the third quarterback to agree to an extension this offseason, following the Detroit Lions‘ Jared Goff and Lawrence.
