The Miami Dolphins have officially picked up the fifth-year option on Tua Tagovailoa’s contract in a major commitment to the quarterback.
Tagovailoa enjoyed the best year of his career in 2022 as he led the NFL in passer rating (105.5). In doing so, he became the first Dolphins quarterback to achieve such a feat since the legendary Dan Marino back in 1984.
However, the 25-year-old - the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft - was limited to just 13 games as he struggled with concussions. Tagovailoa was ruled out as the Dolphins exited the playoffs at the hands of the Buffalo Bills, who secured a 34-31 win over their AFC East rivals.
