According to multiple reports, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension. The extension comes as Tagovailoa was entering his final year of his rookie contract after being selected as the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

Details regarding the financial terms of the contract extension have not been disclosed at this time. However, the agreement provides stability for Tagovailoa and the Dolphins heading into the upcoming NFL season, allowing them to focus on their on-field success.
As the 2024 season approaches, all eyes will be on Tua Tagovailoa to see how he continues to grow and lead the Miami Dolphins on their quest for a championship.
