Dolphins signing Tua to 4-year, $212.4M extension
The Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa have agreed to terms on a four-year, $212.4-million extension, the quarterback's agency told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal includes $167 million guaranteed, Schefter reports.
Tagovailoa's $53.1-million average annual value ranks third among all quarterbacks, per Schefter. He trails only the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow and Jacksonville Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence, who are both on deals averaging $55 million per season.
The lefty led the league with 4,624 passing yards last campaign. He also tossed 29 touchdowns against 14 interceptions. His efforts earned the Alabama product his first career Pro Bowl selection.
Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, whose 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns paced all receivers last season, appeared excited.

Tagovailoa has started 51 games since he was selected fifth overall in the 2020 draft, including all 17 in 2023. It marked the first time he'd been available for every contest.
The 26-year-old has tallied 12,639 yards, 81 touchdowns, and 37 interceptions on 66.9% passing over his career.
