The Crimson Tide product had been in negotiations for a new deal for quite some time.
Former Alabama standout and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa signed a 4-year, $212.4 million contract extension with his team on Friday,Tagovailoa's $53.1 million annual salary is third in the league, only trailing fellow quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence, two players he's more than familiar with during his time in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Tagovailoa signed a 4-year, $30.275 million contract shortly after he was selected with the fifth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. He's heading into the fifth and final year of his rookie contract and was guaranteed a base salary of $23.17 million this season. When asked if Goff's $53 million per year contract sets a benchmark for his negotiations on June 4, Tagovailoa said "The market is the market. If we didn't have a market, none of that would matter. That's what I would say. The market is the market,"This is certainly an understandable request, as he threw an NFL-best 4,624 yards this past season, while also tallying 29 passing touchdowns en route to his first Pro Bowl appearance.
