Dolphins are in a tough spot with Tua Tagovailoa - NBC Sports
The Dolphins and their quarterback clearly haven’t been able to do that, or he’d already have a new deal. And Tua is doing the only thing he can to exert leverage — he’s staying away from voluntary workouts.
It’s surprising that the news stayed under wraps for as long as it did. But no one had any real reason to think he wouldn’t attend.
Both Tagovailoa and coach Mike McDaniel have said that Tua will be at OTAs, which begin on Monday. If he doesn’t show up for those on-field practice sessions that lay the foundation for the training camp to come, it will be significant.
He’s making $23.1 million this year under they fifth-year option. That’s way too low, given that he led the league in passing last year. But the Dolphins surely think Tua’s expectations are way too high.
