Over the weekend, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa signed a long-awaited contract extension with the team, and it sounds like head coach Mike McDaniel is pleased to have his quarterback locked down for the foreseeable future.
During a press conference following the announcement of the contract extension, Mike McDaniel offered his reaction to the news, calling it a called it a “cool validation” of everything Tua Tagovialoa has accomplished in Miami.
“I think that’s one of the cool things about sports is Tua can know that, his teammates know that, and they already have pressure and expectations for themselves,” McDaniel said according to Pro Football Talk. “Just as long as you acknowledge that, which quite frankly Tua’s shown me that throughout the entire offseason that he knows what time it is. Fortunately, him and all his teammates can go out and determine whatever the narrative is built upon by the way they play. We focus on the way we play, understanding that we will always hear about the results regardless of what they are. So why don’t we try to move the needle on what those results are and focus on that and nothing else.”
We’ll have to see how Tagovailoa’s career shakes out from here.
