BREAKING NEWS: Tua Tagovailoa signs four-year contract extension with Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have agreed on a contract extension with an average annual value of $53.1 million.

The Miami Dolphins said they wanted to get a contract extension completed with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and now they have. The team and their 2020 first-round pick have agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension, first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Tagovailoa was selected with the fifth-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, giving the Dolphins the quarterback they coveted for two years. He immediately took over as the team’s starting quarterback, though he battled through injuries through...

7/26/24 UPDATE: Miami Dolphins Orange Jersey Award TRACKER

Linebackers continue to dominate.

The Miami Dolphins just finished their third training camp practice, and once again, it is a member of the defense who was bestowed the orange jersey award that is given to the previous practice session’s best performer. In fact, the recipient became the fourth different linebacker to wear the orange jersey this offseason.

Anthony Walker Jr. was today’s winner of the orange jersey award!

Walker joins David Long Jr., Duke Riley, and Jordyn Brooks as the other members of the linebacking corp who have been recognized for their outstanding performances this offseason.

The Dolphins need to get Tua Tagovailoa’s deal done now

The Dolphins need to get Tua Tagovailoa’s deal done now

There could be seismic consequences to not completing an extension during training camp.

MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins completed the second day of training camp, but there was one big difference from the first day. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa did not throw in any drills, 7 on 7’s or 11 on 11’s.

This “hold-in” by the Dolphins quarterback comes amid a contract dispute between the quarterback and the team. Although the Dolphins and Tagovailoa’s agent are in negotiations and still in daily contact, they are not close to settling on a deal.

Another report suggests the Dolphins have not “[offered...

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington believes the Miami Dolphins will give Tyreek Hill a new contract

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington believes the Miami Dolphins will give Tyreek Hill a new contract

Can the Miami Dolphins and Tyreek Hill agree on a new contract before next offseason?

While securing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s contract extension takes precedence for the Miami Dolphins, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill patiently waits for his turn at the negotiating table. The five-time first-team All-Pro has been a nightmare for opposing defenses with 3,509 receiving yards and 21 total touchdowns since joining the Dolphins.

With wide receiver Jaylen Waddle under contract through 2028, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington expects Miami to turn its attention to HIll after reaching an agreement with Tagovailoa — keeping the band in aqua and orange for...

Phinsider Question Of The Day: Where Does McDaniel Rank Edition

Phinsider Question Of The Day: Where Does McDaniel Rank Edition

As the offseason ends and NFL teams return to work, all the different preseason rankings come. There are rankings of the teams themselves. I have also seen rankings ranging from a team's game day food and drink offerings to individual player rankings by position. So, of course, someone, well, many someone’s or at least multiple publications have their various rankings of NFL head coaches. I have seen the Miami Dolphins head coach ranked anywhere as low as 20 to as high as 11 (as in this post recently by CBS ). All of the posts seem to have Andy Ried...

Miami Dolphins training camp: Jevon Holland is back at practice after Wednesday’s injury scare

Miami Dolphins training camp: Jevon Holland is back at practice after Wednesday’s injury scare

Miami’s fourth-year safety collided with rookie wide receiver Malik Washington during Tuesday’s practice.

While teams aim to achieve numerous goals during training camp, nothing is more important than reaching Week 1 with a healthy roster. Nearly a year after Jalen Ramsey’s meniscus surgery, Miami Dolphins fans were concerned about another potential preseason injury in the secondary.

Fourth-year safety Jevon Holland left practice on Wednesday after a collision with rookie wide receiver Malik Washington. That said, David Furones, sports reporter for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, was first to report that Holland was back in action on Thursday and was active...

7/25/24 UPDATE: Miami Dolphins Orange Jersey Award TRACKER

What’s old is new again!

The Miami Dolphins re-signed EDGE rusher Emmanuel Ogbah just two days ago after the sudden retirement of offseason acquisition Shaq Barrett. Ogbah is quickly making his presence felt — earning the orange jersey award given to the previous practice’s best player after just one day of training camp practices.

Ogbah’s deal can be worth up to $5 million, however his impact on the field may prove to be priceless if he can replicate his 2023 per-snap production — 5.5 sacks in just 246 defensive snaps — when he presumably sees the field more often in...

Four Miami Dolphins finally crack NFL Top 100 list

Four Miami Dolphins finally crack NFL Top 100 list

After not having any players named in the first 30 players on the 2024 list, the Dolphins land four players in the sixties on Wednesday.

The Dolphins had been shut out of the NFL’s Top 100 list in 2024 – a list voted on by current NFL players – through the first 30 selections or so. Plenty of fans were wondering when a member of Miami’s squad would crack the countdown.

Well, good things come to those who wait, they say. On Wednesday, four Miami Dolphins were named to the Top 100 list – starting with left tackle Terron Armstead...

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

The Miami Dolphins had their first training camp practice yesterday and it got scary pretty quickly. Safety Jevon Holland was injured early in practice and from reports, it doesn’t seem major. We can only hope it’s not major as Holland is a key piece to this Dolphins defense. As for the offense, it didn’t look too sharp as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa performs his hold-in over his contract situation and barely

Phinsider Question Of The Day: Yep, It’s Another Tua Tagovailoa Post Edition

I know that most of you are tired of reading articles about the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. Most of those articles published recently have been about the ongoing contract extension negotiations between him and the team. Most everyone seemed to believe this would be a nonstory/nonissue when training camp opened for the 2024 season. Well, here we are. Tua showed up at camp and is thankfully not “holding out,” but he is still “holding in.” For those of you wondering what holding it actually means in this case, it means that while he’s at camp and participating in...

Former Middle Tennessee State University punter campaigning for tryout with Miami Dolphins

Former Middle Tennessee State University punter campaigning for tryout with Miami Dolphins

Former MTSU punter Kyle Ulbrich hopes to land a spot on Miami’s 90-man training camp roster.

Kyle Ulbrich’s senior season at Middle Tennessee State University was his best yet, averaging 47 yards per punt. In 2022, he recorded 67 punts, including a 72-yard bomb against Western Kentucky. Despite not securing a roster spot last season, he’s determined to carry that momentum to the NFL.

Ulbrich earned All-Conference honors as a senior and spent the last two days lobbying outside the Miami Dolphins practice facility, hoping to land on the training camp roster.

“Its always a dream, until it becomes a...
