The Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa are approaching the end of Tua’s rookie contract. The big question now is when or if they will sign a new deal.
Tua has proven himself worthy of a new contract. Now, the challenge is figuring out how much to pay him and what the terms should be.
Compared to other top quarterbacks like Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, Tua’s value is still uncertain. Finding the right balance of salary and guarantees is key.
The Dolphins have to decide how much they’re willing to pay and what Tua is willing to accept. They could opt to use the franchise tag to keep him for another year if they can’t reach a deal.
There’s also whether the Dolphins believe they could find a better quarterback than Tua. It’s a tough decision, but one they may have to make.
Despite his potential, Tua hasn’t reached elite status yet. However, he had a solid season in 2023, staying healthy and leading the league in passing yards.
In the end, the Dolphins will need to carefully consider Tua’s value and whether they want to commit to him for the long term.
