Tua Tagovailoa Makes History With New Contract

Tua Tagovailoa signed a four-year, $212.4 million contract with $167 million of it being guaranteed. His per-year salary of $53.1 million makes him the third-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL and the highest paid in history for a four-year deal.

Tenacious Tua

Tua Tagovailoa has never had a losing season. He has a better career interception and completion percentage than Josh Allen. Tua also has a better touchdown percentage than Jalen Hurts. Clearly, the Alabama product stacks up well with the league’s best signal callers, yet he never gets the credit he deserves.

What Gives?

The unconventional, left-handed quarterback from Alabama, who historically produces NFL stars at every position but quarterback. Tua is not a huge media person and plays for a team that’s recent history has been poor but also sits in a fairly large spotlight. However, he has quietly produced and has this Dolphins team in a position to make their deepest playoff run in decades.

Wrap Up

It takes time. Josh Allen was statistically terrible to start his career in Buffalo, yet he is now on the path to legend status. If Miami wanted any shot at winning, they did the right thing in extending Tua. He had his first fully healthy season, and I look for him to excel this year.
