The Miamis The Dolphins exercised Tua Tagovailoa’s fifth-year optionaccording to multiple reports, and with this they confirm the confidence they have in him to be the starting quarterback in the 2023 and 2024 NFL seasons.
With this move, the Miami organization puts an end to the rumors that Tom Brady was returning from retirement and they placed him as QB1 of the Dolphins while his career as a commentator on FOX was on hiatus until 2024.
In accordance with Spotterthe change in salary will be gigantic for Tagovailoa since in 2023 he will get 1.01 million dollars in base salary, with bonuses that add up to more than 8.6 million, and in 2024 it will receive 23.17 million.
The quarterback market is too volatile and an example was the situation of Daniel Jones with the New York Giants. The Duke graduate gambled on himself when the franchise didn’t take his fifth-year option and has now received a contract in which he will earn $40 million a year. With that in mind, Tagovailoa’s impact on the Dolphins’ salary cap will be friendly.
