According to multiple reports, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins have agreed to a four-year contract extension.

The initial reports indicate the deal is worth $212.4 million with $167 million guaranteed — good for an average annual value of $53.1 million.

The No. 5 overall pick of the 2020 draft, Tagovailoa was entering the final year of his rookie contract. He turned in his best pro season in 2023, leading the league with 4,624 passing yards while completing 69.3 percent of his passes. He finished with 29 touchedowons and 14 interceptions.
