BREAKING NEWS: Miami Dolphins Star Tua Tagovailoa Signs $12 Million Contract Extension to Stay in Miami
In a major development for Miami Dolphins fans, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, widely regarded as the team’s most valuable player, has signed a $12 million contract extension to remain with the franchise for the 2025 NFL season.
The deal, confirmed by team officials early Wednesday morning, is a one-year extension that solidifies Miami’s commitment to Tagovailoa as the leader of their offense. The contract includes performance incentives and bonuses that could elevate the total value beyond $15 million, depending on team success and individual milestones.
Tua, 27, is coming off a career-best season in 2024, where he threw for over 4,200 yards and 32 touchdowns, leading the Dolphins to a playoff berth. His precision passing, leadership, and chemistry with receivers like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have cemented him as the cornerstone of Miami’s offense.
“This is where I want to be,” Tagovailoa said in a press conference this morning. “I love this team, this city, and the direction we’re headed. I’m excited to keep building something special here.”
The relatively modest deal — considering rising QB salaries — gives the Dolphins valuable cap flexibility as they continue to strengthen their roster. Rumors had swirled in recent weeks about possible long-term negotiations or even trade speculation, but today’s announcement puts those to rest — at least for the near future.
Miami head coach Mike McDaniel praised Tua’s growth: “He’s the heartbeat of our offense and a leader in the locker room. We’re thrilled he’s staying in aqua and orange.”
