The Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million extension, multiple outlets reported today.

ESPN reported that Tagovailoa’s new contract includes $167 million guaranteed and is the largest in Dolphins history. The $53.1 million average annual salary is the highest in NFL history on a four-year extension, according to NFL Network.

A first-round pick (fifth overall) by Miami in 2020, Tagovailoa has thrown for 12,639 yards with 81 TDs and 37 picks in 53 career games (51 starts).

Tagovailoa made his NFL playoff debut last season, completing 20 of 39 passes for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 26-7 wild-card loss at Kansas City.
