Is Tua Tagovailoa Playing Hardball – The Splash Zone 5/18/24

The Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa have been a big talking point this offseason as the team tries to get their quarterback an extension. Tua is currently playing on the fifth-year option but would love to be rewarded with a new contract. Last month, Tua stated he would show up to OTA’s and let his agent deal with contract details. The Dolphins began their offseason program last month and while Tua showed up, he has decided to sit out most of it. It is voluntary though but perhaps the quarterback is protesting his contract status. We’ll have a better understanding of how Tua feels when he decides whether or not to show up for Dolphins OTA’s next week.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
