This week, the Miami Dolphins announced a contract extension for star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and superstar receiver Tyreek Hill is reportedly in search of a new contract as well. That leaves the Dolphins with a pretty big decision to make regarding quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
While the Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa have insisted that the two sides would work out a deal, no deal has materialized yet, leaving the Dolphins with a decision regarding Tagovailoa’s future in Miami, as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk points out.
“The most important person in this entire exercise is team owner Stephen Ross. Is he willing to give Tua $50 million or more per year when the jury remains out on how far he can take the team? Or will Ross trust a coach who has a reputation for designing and implementing high-end offense to do as well or better with someone else?” Florio wrote for Pro Football Talk.
“Dak Prescott might be available next year. Kirk Cousins could be available, at only $27.5 million in 2025 salary. Deshaun Watson, depending on how this season goes in Cleveland, could be available. What could other quarterbacks do with a revolving door of potent running backs and a receiving corps led by Hill and Waddle?”
Needless to say, if the two sides don’t agree on a contract extension before the start of the season, things could get very interesting in Miami.
