Tua Tagovailoa eager to help Dolphins end playoff drought after signing extension

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — His new contract signed, Tua Tagovailoa acknowledged the heightened expectations tied to its value. “There are just so many semantics and hoops that you have to go through to get something like that done, especially maneuvering other contracts around,” Tagovailoa said. It’s unbelievable.” Dolphins fans were allowed to attend workouts for the first time in the 2024 training camp schedule on Sunday, and Tagovailoa greeted them with the catchphrase “Show me the money” from the 1996 movie “Jerry Maguire.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! With McDaniel devising schemes to suit Tagovailoa’s skills, the Dolphins averaged a league-best 401 yards per game last season. “We haven’t won the games we wanted to win, deep into the playoffs and win the games that matter,” Tagovailoa said.
