NFL fans are destroying the Miami Dolphins for giving quarterback Tua Tagovailoa a record-setting $212.4 million extension over four years.
On Friday afternoon, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network broke the news that Miami signed Tua Tagovailoa to a $212.4 million extension, making it the largest four-year deal in NFL history.
With the deal, Tagovailoa becomes the 11th NFL player to sign a deal worth $200 million-plus. He becomes the fourth quarterback to sign a mammoth contract this offseason, joining Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars (five years, $275 million), Detoit Lions QB Jared Goff (four years, $200 million) and new Atlanta Falcons signal-caller Kirk Cousins (four yers, $180 million).
But let’s just say that NFL fans aren’t exactly buying Miami’s decision to hand Tua Tagovailoa the 10th-largest deal in league history (per Spotrac).
Someone call the cops, Miami Dolphins just got robbed!

I’ve loved Tua on and off the field since he was playing for Alabama. That being said, this is a massive overpay, especially since this contract is only for four years. #NFL https://t.co/ohxc1BiAeg

For those who think wins are a quarterback stat, you can’t deny Tua Tagovailoa’s 32-19-0 record as a starting QB. Miami has finished above .500 every year since his 2020 rookie year, including two playoff appearances.
On the other hand, the Dolphins have yet to win a playoff game with Tagovailoa. He was sidelined for their 2022 Wild Card Round loss to the Buffalo Bills, but his play in the 2023 Wild Card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs (20-of-39, 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception) left a lot to be desired.
But the Dolphins decided that Tua Tagovailoa was worth the money. Now, we wait and see if he can deliver for this long-suffering franchise.
Miami Dolphins Open Season vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Tagovailoa’s first opportunity to show he’s worth the $212.4 million will begin on Sept. 8, when the Dolphins welcome Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars to South Beach for the season opener.
Tagovailoa is coming off a career year in which he completed 69.3 percent of pass attempts for a league-leading 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns against 14 interceptions.
