Tagovailoa’s Bold Gamble: Can a Fresh Start with the Falcons Rewrite His NFL Destiny?
“If you’re looking at last year, my play wasn’t up to the standard of the way I’ve been playing football the past, what, three years since the new contract,” Tagovailoa said of the four-year, $212 million extension from the Dolphins in 2024.
“So just got to play better football. That’s what that really means. There’s no other way to sugarcoat that or go around that.”
The Dolphins will owe Tagovailoa $54 million in guaranteed money in 2026. The one-year deal with the Falcons is for $1.3 million, the minimum for a veteran. The agreement with Atlanta was reached after the Dolphins announced they were releasing Tagovailoa despite taking on an NFL-record $99 million dead cap hit.
