The find themselves at a pivotal juncture with , whose long-term role in the franchise appears to be in question. Despite handing the 26-year-old quarterback a four-year, $212.4 million extension in July 2024, the largest in team history, the team declined to restructure his deal this offseason, a move that could have saved them $19 million in cap space.
For a team navigating financial challenges and seeking to bolster its roster, this decision is curious. Restructuring would have provided immediate financial relief but increased Tua's cap hit in the latter years of his contract. By keeping the deal intact, Miami has preserved the flexibility to part ways with Tagovailoa after the 2026 season, incurring just an $8 million dead cap penalty.
This financial strategy seems to reflect caution on the Dolphins' part regarding Tagovailoa's long-term viability as their franchise quarterback. Although Tua demonstrated his potential by completing his only full season in 2023, his history of injuries, particularly concussions, remains a significant concern.
