CINCINNATI — Tua Tagovailoa agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract with the Dolphins on Friday afternoon.
The former fifth-overall pick will make $53.1 million on average, which is the highest four-year extension in NFL history.
Joe Burrow is still the highest paid quarterback in the NFL after signing a five-year, $275 million deal with the Bengals last September. Tagovailoa is set to make $29 million on the fifth-year option this season and will make another $212 million from 2025-28.
Will Jordan Love top Burrow's deal? He appears to be the next quarterback in line to get paid.
The #Dolphins and their QB Tua Tagovailoa have a deal!

Sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo they’ve agreed to terms on 4-year, $212.4M contract extension to lock him in long-term. At long-last, Miami’s franchise QB is paid like it. 💰 💰 💰 pic.twitter.com/rW5sTJzBQo
