The Miami Dolphins quarterback was very candid about his frustration about not having signed an extension at this time
Tua Tagovailoa had a hard time coming up with the right word to describe his feelings about his ongoing contract situation Tuesday afternoon, but it was crystal clear the Miami Dolphins quarterback isn't happy.
Asked whether he was concerned, Tua replied: "Not concerned. Concerned is not the right word, that's way off from the word.""I wouldn't say pissed off. I mean, this is the nature of the beast, right? This is how it goes."Something else that Tua made very clear is that he's looking to get the same kind of deal the Detroit Lions recently gave quarterback Jared Goff a four-year extension worth $212 million with $177 million guaranteed.
While Tua, who is scheduled to play on his fifth-year option in 2024 for $23.2 million, clearly is frustrated that an extension hasn't been done yet, but he did say there has been progress in the discussions between his representation and the Dolphins. Tua, who would not have gotten fined for missing all of the OTAs but would have been subject to fines to skipping the mandatory minicamp, said it's not necessarily easy to keep the contract out of his mind when he's on the field.
