Dolphins Have Yet to Extend Market-Value Contract to Tua Tagovailoa

Jordan Love, Dak Prescott, and Tua Tagovailoa are anticipated to make moves in the quarterback market this summer, following the path set by deals for Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence. The Dolphins, Cowboys, and Packers are navigating this evolving landscape, with Miami showing some reluctance to meet the current market standards.

While Tagovailoa has hinted at progress being made, he has also highlighted the escalating market prices, potentially signaling his value to the Dolphins after recent extensions for Goff ($53MM per year) and Lawrence (record-tying $55MM AAV). However, negotiations between Tagovailoa and the Dolphins seem to have hit a standstill, with reports suggesting that Miami has not offered a deal on par with those of the Lions and Jaguars for their top quarterbacks.

With the Dolphins yet to present a market-value extension, negotiations are facing obstacles. Tagovailoa rejected an offer from the team earlier in the offseason, indicating a potential gap between the two parties. Despite ongoing discussions, it is unlikely that Tagovailoa will settle for less than what the Jaguars offered Lawrence, given his performance over the past two seasons.

Reports suggest that the Dolphins are firm in their assessment of Tagovailoa’s value, which could lead to a standoff as negotiations continue. Despite Tagovailoa’s impressive statistics in the previous season, the Dolphins have delayed reaching a deal, a situation uncommon for first-round quarterbacks on rookie contracts. Talks between the two parties have been ongoing since mid-April.

While taking a tough stance with Tagovailoa may have repercussions, such as the risk of him moving towards a 2025 franchise tag, the Dolphins are facing challenges in managing their salary cap. The addition of players like Jaylen Waddle and the potential renegotiation of Tyreek Hill‘s contract further complicate the financial landscape for Miami.

The emergence of Tagovailoa as a productive quarterback, coupled with the influence of new arrivals like Hill and Mike McDaniel, has significantly impacted the negotiations. Despite the contract dispute disrupting offseason activities, Tagovailoa eventually participated in team workouts. As the deadline approaches, it will be intriguing to see how the negotiations unfold in the lead-up to the new season.
