Tua Tagovailoa has reported to Dolphins OTAs.
Fantasy Impact
The team for Tagovailoa and Miami are continuing to work out an extension with the two sides still being in negotiations. He reportedly turned down an offer made by the Dolphins earlier this offseason. This will be a situation to monitor, though a deal should eventually get done.
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has reportedly skipped the "majority" of the team's voluntary offseason work over the first month ahead of voluntary OTAs.
Fantasy Impact
These absences are believed to be tied to his pending contract extension, as Tagovailoa seeks a deal as he enters 2024 set to play on his $23.171 million fifth-year option. While it can be rationalized that Tagovailoa's absences are insignificant considering work at this point is voluntary, CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones mentions that the former Alabama QB has been present for the majority of his voluntary offseason work through his first four NFL seasons. With Jared Goff's extension painting a picture, Tagovailoa's search for future security could bleed into training camp if he's willing to stomach any potential fines.
Dolphins GM Chris Grier said they will meet with Tua Tagovailoa’s agent this week in Indy about long-term extension.
Fantasy Impact
Grier said that they are “hopeful” to get deal done this offseason & “ideal” before training camp and season. He added that big money quarterback deals “rarely come together quickly.”
