Tagovailoa will now make $23,171,000 million for the 2024 season.

He’s set to earn a base salary of $1,010,000 in the final year of his deal before earning $23,171,000 under the fifth-year option.
In 2022, Tagovailoa appeared in 13 games for the Dolphins and completed 64.8 percent of his passes for 3,548 yards with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
