Open Extended Reactions
The afternoon of Friday, July 26, 2024, came alive with a big splash: the latest NFL quarterback megadeal. For the Miami Dolphins, the news held a deeper meaning that money couldn't quantify.
Miami, maligned at the quarterback position for decades, had a starter it could trust. Tua Tagovailoa's four-year, $212.4 million extension -- including $167 million in guarantees -- signified stability for which the franchise was starved. Miami started 21 quarterbacks between Dan Marino's retirement after the 1999 season and drafting Tagovailoa in 2020.
