First came Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions, then Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins has become the most recent quarterback to get paid this offseason. The market continues to boom, as the Dolphins gave their signal-caller a four-year, $212.4 million extension with $167 million in guarantees on Friday, CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirms.
Tagovailoa’s new AAV of $53.1 million makes him the third-highest paid quarterback in the NFL behind Lawrence and Joe Burrow. That $53.1 million number is a record for the most money averaged in a four-year contract, and of course is the largest contract in Dolphins franchise history.
