The Dolphins have scored 27.6 points per game with the southpaw as the starter and 16.3 PPG in four games that Tagovailoa missed with injury in the last two seasons (two starts each from Skylar Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater).

Injuries clouded Tua’s first three seasons as he missed time each campaign, including multiple concussions. In 2023, he showcased his promise and ability to stay healthy, leading the NFL with 4,624 passing yards while playing all 17 games.

With the contract questions in the rearview, Tagovailoa, McDaniel, and the rest of the Dolphins’ explosive offense can focus on making more magic in 2024.
