Miami Dolphins’ quarter-arre, Tua Tagovailoa, signed an extension worth $ 212.4 million over four years, rather than the quarter-back over the fifth year of his recruit. Kristopher Knox to Bleacher Report call this contract an error Due to the history of injuries and the lack of success of the playoffs.
“The agreement that Miami offered to Tagovailoa was not logical,” wrote Knox. “Although he stayed healthy in 2023, he had a long history of injury which included multiple concussion.”
These concussion was sufficiently worrying for the media, coaches and former players Some have suggested that the quarterrrière should retire. However, Tagovailoa will be back on the field in 2025, after a season when he only played 11 games because of a concussion and a injured hip.

“It would probably have been more logical for Miami to allow Tagovailoa to play on the fifth year option in 2024 or to offer a shorter extension with less guaranteed money,” said Knox.
Whatever the big contract or the disapproval of Knox, he still recognizes that Tagovailoa can be one of the best quarters of the league if it remains healthy. However, Knox does not think that the agreement is worth the problems of injury.
“It is simply too much likely to assert an agreement that includes more than $ 167 million guaranteed and makes him the Highest player In the history of the NFL, “said Knox.
Aside from health problems, dolphins have too much money invested in Tagovailoa to abandon it, and this year is crucial. The way he plays this season will probably have an even greater influence on the perception of his contract in the future.
