The Dolphins have told quarterback Tua Tagovailoa that they plan to pick up his fifth-year option, keeping the former first-round pick under contract in Miami for at least another season, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Friday.
Tagovailoa, who is set to enter the fourth-year of his rookie deal in 2023, will now be guaranteed to earn $23.2 million during the ‘24 season.
The No. 5 pick in the 2020 NFL draft, Tagovailoa has taken major strides during his time in Miami, especially last season. During the 2022 campaign, the former Alabama star completed 64.8% of his passes for 3,548 yards with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He went 8–5 as a starter in 13 appearances.
