Tua Tagovailoa Salary
The Miami Dolphins quarterback is still on his first contract after being drafted fifth overall in 2020. Tagovailoa inked a four-year, $30,275,438 deal with the team, including a $19,578,500 signing bonus, with $30,275,438 guaranteed and an average annual salary of $7,568,860.

Tua Tagovailoa Cap Hit
The 24-year-old will carry a cap hit of $9,633,094 in 2023.
Tua Tagovailoa Potential Extension
Tagovailoa had a breakout campaign in 2022, despite missing four games and Miami’s Wild Card matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa suffered multiple concussions in the 2022 season but still put up career-best numbers.
While his performance helped Miami to a 9-8 record and a playoff berth, questions about his health may stall an immediate contract extension. While he may not be in the A-class of the NFL elite, the talented pivot is undoubtedly in the second tier.
Comparing his numbers, age, and potential to similar quarterbacks, he will be in for a considerable raise come negotiating time. The Crimson Tide alum could be in line for a deal in the neighborhood of 5-7 years for $230-250 million.
