When the Miami Dolphins chose to extend quarterback Tua Tagovailoa last summer, everyone knew that both he and the team would be criticized for that decision. That didn't stop the 'Fins from inking their former first-round pick in the 2020 draft to a four-year deal worth over $212 million.
The Dolphins opted to do this despite Tagovailoa's injury history and never leading his team to a division title or a playoff win. It's not that it was a bad decision, considering that when Tagovailoa is healthy, he's a decent quarterback, but obviously, choosing to extend him on that kind of a deal is going to bring out harsh criticisms from people.
