Reports: Tua, Dolphins agree to four-year, $30.28M deal

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins agreed to a four-year, $30.28 million contract with a team option for a fifth year, according to multiple reports on Monday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the deal is fully guaranteed and includes a $19.6 million signing bonus. The Dolphins selected the Alabama quarterback with the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL draft last month.

Tagovailoa already spent some of the money. On Sunday, he posted a video to Twitter showing him gifting a black Cadillac Escalade to his mother, Diane, adding this tribute to her: "Happy Mother's Day to a more than deserving Mother. I love you mom" Tagovailoa left the storied Alabama program as No. 1 in school history in completion percentage (69.3 percent), touchdown passes in a season (43 in 2018) and career passing touchdowns (87). He threw for 7,442 yards in his 32 games with the Crimson Tide.

Tagovailoa's 2019 season was cut short in mid-November due to a major hip injury that required surgery, but his recovery has been swift and he is close to full strength. --Field Level Media
