The Miami Dolphins ended the 2023 season in disappointing fashion. They gave up the AFC East lead in the final week of the season to the Buffalo Bills and then lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild card round of the playoffs. As a result, this led to speculation as to whether the team would go all-in on key players in their offense.
This includes QB Tua Tagovailoa. Now, Tagovailoa provides some clarity as to what he is expecting for his next contract. Tua Tagovailoa Says “The Market Is the Market” This morning, Tagovailoa was asked about Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff’s recent contract extension.
Goff is now making $53 million annually and the reporter asked Tagovailoa whether that new contract set a benchmark for NFL quarterbacks like him. This is what Tua had to say : “The market is the market. If we didn’t have a market, none of that would matter.
That’s what I would say. The market is the market.” -Tua Tagovailoa Jaylen Waddle ’s Contract Extension What makes this a little more awkward is that Tua’s teammate, WR Jaylen Waddle, already received a major contract extension.
This extension was worth nearly $85 million over the next three years. It also makes Waddle one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. One important note here is when both Tua and Waddle were drafted.
Both used to be teammates at Alabama. However, Tua was drafted in 2020 and Waddle was drafted in 2021. Yet, Waddle received a contract extension before Tua did.
Are Tua Tagovailoa.
