Despite their early exit in the 2024 NFL Playoffs, the Miami Dolphins remain strong contenders for the upcoming season.
Under head coach Mike McDaniel, their offense is dynamic and unpredictable, spearheaded by standout wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and supported by running backs Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane. The addition of veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has further bolstered their passing game.
Central to this potent offense is quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who enjoyed his best season yet in 2023. His performance has positioned him for a significant contract extension.
Former NFL general manager Rick Spielman, speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio, predicts that Tagovailoa’s new deal could exceed $50 million annually, potentially reaching $55 million due to the rising salary cap and recent quarterback contracts.
Spielman compares it to the deal Trevor Lawrence secured with the Jacksonville Jaguars, suggesting a similar agreement could be finalized soon for Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa has overcome early career challenges to become a key player for the Dolphins. His expected contract extension reflects his value to the team and the league’s escalating financial landscape.
As the Dolphins prepare for the 2024 season, retaining Tagovailoa ensures stability and continued offensive prowess, positioning them as formidable contenders in their pursuit of a Super Bowl title.
