Tua Tagovailoa: The market is what it is, end of story

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is currently participating in the team’s mandatory minicamp, despite still seeking a new contract. He expressed confidence in getting a new deal but did not specify when he expects this to happen, possibly before the start of training camp.

During an interview with reporters, Tagovailoa acknowledged the progress that has been made in contract negotiations but also highlighted the challenging nature of business discussions. He maintained a positive attitude, stating that he is not frustrated or worried about the situation, although he may feel a bit “antsy” about it.

When asked about comparing his situation to other quarterbacks who have recently signed new contracts, Tagovailoa emphasized the importance of the market. He believes that the market dictates salary benchmarks and plays a significant role in negotiations.

Tagovailoa made it clear that balancing the business aspect of football with his on-field performance is a challenging task. He believes that a person’s character and behavior in both business and personal matters should align.

As the offseason program comes to a close, Tagovailoa expressed readiness to sign a new contract once his agent confirms the details. He remains hopeful that both sides will reach a mutually satisfactory agreement in due time.
