Dolphins Rumors: Tua Tagovailoa Contract Won’t Reach Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert Level

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler discussed Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during Sunday’s SportsCenter and explained that even though he is in position to land a significant deal, it likely won’t match that of fellow 2020 draftees Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert:

“This might be the path of least resistance to get something done because the Dolphins have long considered him a long-term option, but they wanted to see him get healthy. Well, he played a full 17 games last year, 11 wins, 4,600-plus passing yards. So, he’s in a good spot. This is a deal that certainly will be at the high caliber of money but might not be in that $55 million range of the Joe Burrows and the Justin Herberts. So, maybe that makes it easier to do. The Dolphins have scaled back their spending big time this offseason in part because they want to pay this guy. It just depends on if they can find a sweet spot on the money.”
