Tua Tagovailoa Silences Critics with Stellar Season

Fox Sports Analyst Joy Taylor Backs Record-Setting Deal
Joy Taylor of Fox Sports believes the Dolphins should offer Tagovailoa a record-setting deal, making him the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback. She explained her reasoning succinctly:
“The Dolphins should make Tua the highest-paid quarterback because Tua is the next man up, and that is how it works. He will be the highest-paid for however long until the next guy that is going to get paid and then they will be the highest-paid.”
Tua Tagovailoa has been DEDICATED to football for a LONG time.
His father, Galu, said that when Tua was in 7th grade a girl messaged him late at night to “call me.”

Her endorsement emphasizes how the quarterback’s current trajectory indicates he deserves this kind of recognition. Taylor’s comments align with the Dolphins’ recent offseason moves, which aim to fortify the roster with new talent, like star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., to bolster their offensive prowess around Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins are banking on their franchise quarterback, and Tagovailoa’s continued growth and development suggest the future is promising for both the QB and his team. The anticipation around the numbers of his potential new contract is palpable, as it could reshape the market for future quarterback deals.
While the specifics remain uncertain, one thing is clear: Tagovailoa is on a path that could soon crown him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. And as he continues to flourish in Miami, both he and the Dolphins look primed to achieve even greater success together.
