By Benjamin Zweiman Verified| DraftKings@ Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images The Miami Dolphins announced a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension for QB Tua Tagovailoa on Friday afternoon. Tagovailoa, who is coming off a breakout season for the Dolphins in 2023-24, will get paid $53.1 million per season. Tua’s deal is just the latest in a string of massive contracts for NFL QBs. The next up on the docket could be Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love, who isn’t practicing at training camp until a deal is reached.
