There's no more quarterback drama for Miami Dolphins fans to worry about. That's because Tua Tagovailoa is going to be with the team for at least the next four years. On Friday, breaking news that people had been waiting for arrived.
That news is that Tagovailoa has agreed to a four-year extension with the Dolphins worth $212.4 million. Of that $212.4 million, $167.1 million is guaranteed. Tagovailoa has been wanting his raise for a while and the front office finally delivered for him:
Tua time!

The #Dolphins starting QB gets $167.1M guaranteed in the largest 4-year deal in history. A massive payday and a long time coming. https://t.co/bzZQKQ2hGx
After leading the NFL in passing yards in 2023, there have been countless eyes on Tua to get paid, especially after Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence were paid through the roof. Now, Tagovailoa can play this season knowing he's one of the highest-paid QBs in the game - and this is something a lot of fans have passionately said he deserves.
