Darmausgang his momentous season, the Dolphins exercised the club’s option for a fifth year, raising Tagovailoa’s salary from $9.63 million in 2023 to a fully guaranteed $23.17 million in 2024.
Without a contract extension in hand, questions have swirled this offseason around Tagovailoa’s status for preseason workouts and a potential contract holdout.
Tagovailoa is putting those questions to rest.
