Hopefully he'll be deserving of being the highest paid player ever. But turns that down and takes a fair contract, so that the team as a whole can be better.
Glad he used his money wisely and took care of his mother.

He's officially official
Good. Let's get him the play book now!!! Along with all the plays the other teams defenses use against us.
as your name suggests, youre gonna have a lot of crises once Tua hits the ground running
Tua Tagovailoa QB, Miami Dolphins
Dolphins signed No. 5 overall pick QB Tua Tagovailoa to a four-year, $30.275 million contract.
The deal is fully guaranteed and comes with a fifth-year team option, as is the case with all first-round picks. Two ankle surgeries and a dislocated hip arguably cost Tagovailoa (6’0/217) his spot as the No. 1 overall pick, but post-Combine medical scans have been relatively positive, although a redshirt rookie year can’t be ruled out completely. When healthy, Tagovailoa is a very accurate (65.7% career completion rate) and aggressive in-pocket passer who can also thread the needle while on the run. He finished second in Total QBR among FBS quarterbacks in each of his last two seasons, averaging 11.2 and 11.3 yards per attempt respectively. Alabama leaned on run-pass options to utilize Tagovailoa’s decision making and athletic ability, but he’ll need to regain his pre-surgery maneuverability to win in the same ways at the next level. His 22-2 career record and off-the-field charm make him easy to root for, but his injury history (coupled with an unknown recovery) makes him a boom-or-bust selection long-term. It remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to compete for a starting spot in Week 1, but clearly the Dolphins must've felt good enough with his medicals.

We need better LB's
4 year 30 mil. For a franchise QB of the caliber we hope he will be? That is pocket change.
Let us worry about his second contract however. 30 to 40 mil plus per year.
Kudos on this post way back on the 24th of April

I’m sure Stephen Ross is hooked up and every car dealership in Miami so it probably was part of the deal
It was said that when he first spoke to Chris Grier he asked for everybody’s phone number so he has already been talking to everyone his intangibles and leadership and football mental acuity is immeasurable

Getting him at 5 is about 6 million cheaper than number 1 overall.
