Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins reportedly agree to 4-year, $212.4 million extension
QB Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins have reportedly agreed to an extension that will keep him in Miami through 2028.JULY 26
Tua Tagovailoa - Multi-year extension gets done Tagovailoa and the Dolphins agreed to terms Friday on a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Tagovailoa and Miami spent much of the offseason working on negotiations for a long-term extension, and the 2020 first-round pick now gets a multi-year commitment and large payday from the franchise that once selected him fifth overall. While awaiting a new deal Tagovailoa only practiced partially at training camp, but Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports that he returned as a full participant Friday. Since pairing with head coach Mike McDaniel, Tagovailoa has transformed into one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the NFL and taken full advantage of having stars Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle leading his wide receiver corps. The 26-year-old is coming off the first full season of his four-year career, a 2023 campaign in which he led the league with 4,624 passing yards while throwing 29 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, with his 8.3 YPA ranking second in the NFL. The additions of No. 3 receiver Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and TE Jonnu Smith, plus another year of growth in McDaniel's offensive scheme, could provide enough fuel for Tagovailoa to take yet another step forward during the 2024 campaign.

Tua Tagovailoa participates in Dolphins' first day of team workouts despite unresolved contract dispute
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa put his contract situation aside and participated in 7-on-7 drills as Miami began training camp workouts...JULY 24
Tua Tagovailoa - Practice workload limited Tagovailoa's practice participation at training camp will be limited amidst ongoing contract negotiations with the Dolphins, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
Impact Tagovailoa's current activity level at training camp is reminiscent of his participation during spring practices, when attended all of June minicamp but missed some time at OTAs. In Wednesday's practice, he participated fully in individual and 7-on-7 drills but only took two snaps in 11-on-11s. Coach Mike McDaniel said this situation is "very fluid," and that the team is "taking it day by day." This offseason, quarterbacks Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence both signed massive extensions with their respective franchises, while elsewhere in the league Jordan Love and Dak Prescott are notable names also negotiating for new deals. The Dolphins thus have plenty of incentive to get an extension locked in for Tagovailoa quickly, both to get the quarterback back on the field and taking reps as soon as possible, and to avoid having to play catch-up in a rising QB market.

Kyric McGowan - Signs with Dolphins McGowan and the Dolphins agreed on a contract Tuesday.
Impact McGowan was let go by the Jaguars in late June, but he has now found his next opportunity with Miami. The wide receiver last appeared in an NFL contest in 2022, failing to log any offensive stats while playing in two contests with the Commanders. In all likelihood, McGowan will be battling with the likes of Anthony Schwartz and Je'Quan Burton for a practice squad spot with the Dolphins in 2024.
JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE
David Long Jr. - Placed on the PUP list Long (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday.
Impact Long will be sidelined for the time being after landing on the PUP list. Once healthy, the 27-year-old should serve as a starter for Miami once again after racking up 113 tackles (64 solo) a season ago.

Odell Beckham Jr. - To start camp on PUP list Beckham (undisclosed) is set to be placed on the Dolphins' active/PUP list, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Per Pelissero, Beckham is reportedly "working through minor things and this is part of the plan for easing (the wideout) back into football." Once Beckham is able to return to practice, he'll look to solidify his standing as the Dolphins' No. 3 WR behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In that role, Beckham may not have a path to steady volume, but if either Hill or Waddle are forced to miss time down the road, the 31-year-old's profile in Miami's passing attack could expand.
