Tua Tagovailoa's injury history puts Dolphins in tough spot as doubts grow over $212 million commitment
Tua Tagovailoa's injuries threaten his future (Getty Images) The Miami Dolphins find themselves at a crossroads with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as the 2025 NFL season looms. Once viewed as the team's long-term answer under center, Tua's persistent injury history is casting a long shadow over his future in South Florida—and the stakes couldn't be higher. Tua Tagovailoa's injury woes raise real concerns over his future as the Dolphins' franchise quarterback When healthy, Tua Tagovailoa has proven he can be more than just a capable starter. In 2023, he threw for 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns, guiding the Dolphins to playoff contention and proving that he has the arm and IQ to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure offense. — FinsXtra (@FinsXtra) But that momentum quickly unraveled last season. Injuries sidelined him for multiple games, and his production dropped to 2,687 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 2024—a steep decline that's prompted questions from both inside and outside the organization. Tagovailoa, 27, is currently under a massive $212.4 million contract, a deal that now looks like a gamble as his durability remains a recurring concern. As Pro Football Focus analyst Ryan Smith put it, 'With a roster already facing depth concerns, the Dolphins can't afford another season derailed by quarterback injuries. Tagovailoa's health will be one of the defining factors in Miami's 2025 campaign, and another extended absence would raise serious questions about his long-term viability as the franchise's $212.4 million investment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Resort com tudo incluído na Bahia Palladium Hotel Group Undo ' The Dolphins have surrounded Tua with a strong offensive line, talented receivers like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and a revamped run game. But none of it matters if their quarterback can't stay on the field. Miami's coaching staff is under pressure, too, knowing another injury-riddled season could derail a roster built to compete now. If Tua suffers another significant injury in the 2025-26 campaign, sources say the team could explore options to move him—despite the complications of his contract. The challenge lies in finding a trade partner willing to absorb such a hefty financial commitment. That said, quarterback-hungry teams might still take a chance on a proven passer if the Dolphins are willing to eat part of the deal.

Whether he can stay healthy and lead this franchise deep into the playoffs may well determine not only his future in Miami but the direction of the entire organization.

Featured pricing is subject to change. The Miami Dolphins had a rollercoaster of a 2024 season. After starting the year 2-6 — and dealing with a very serious Tua Tagovailoa concussion — Mike McDaniel's club rebounded to finish the year with a respectable 8-9 record. To make sure they come out of the gates swinging this year, the team signed projected starters James Daniels, Ifeatu Melifonwu, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Ashtyn Davis and backup quarterback Zach Wilson in the event Tagovailoa gets injured again. Then, in the draft, they selected Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant with the 13th pick. These offseason acquisitions join Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, De'Von Achane, Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowler Jonnu Smith on this year's roster. 'Right now, I feel extremely strong about whose in the room knowing that it will grow by two to three people,' McDaniel said in a press conference at the NFL Combine. And, now that the schedule release has come and gone, we have a better idea of what's ahead for the club. Just a few of the most notable home games on the horizon this year include playoff teams Los Angeles Chargers (Oct. 12), Baltimore Ravens (Oct. 30), Buffalo Bills (Nov. 9) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Dec. 28). Also, of note, the squad will also take on the Washington Commanders at Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, Nov. 16 in the NFL's first-ever game in Spain.

Tyreek Hill lists his top five quarterbacks, omits Tua Tagovailoa
When receiver Tyreek Hill arrived in Miami three years ago, he made some over the top claims about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Hill claimed, for instance, that Tua is the most accurate quarterback in all of football. Recently, Hill was asked to list his top five quarterbacks in the NFL. Tua didn't get a mention. The top four are easy, for anyone — Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow. The fifth is open for debate. Hill went with Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield over Tua. Does it mean anything? Well, how can it not? He has gone from being fully committed to hyping his quarterback to not making the obvious and predictable claim that the guy who throws him the football is among the best throwers of footballs. It comes at a time when an uneasy vibe lingers between Hill and the Dolphins. After the 2024 regular-season finale, Hill said he wanted to leave Miami. On the Friday of Super Bowl week, he launched an impromptu toothpaste-back-in-the-tube tour on radio row. Trade talks haven't happened, as far as anyone knows. There was chatter that, when Cowboys owner Jerry Jones boasted about two 'substantive trades,' Tyreek was one of the targets. (They acquired George Pickens instead.) The window opens on June 2, if there's a trade to be done. That would shift the bulk of the cap charge into 2026. And it would send his $25.85 million in fully-guaranteed pay to a new team. It's worth paying attention to the situation. Miami's interest in trading cornerback Jalen Ramsey emerged out of nowhere last month. It could happen with Hill, too. Of course, someone would have to want to trade for him. G.M. Chris Grier has said he wouldn't hang up the phone if someone offered two first-round draft picks . The question is whether the Dolphins would bite on something less than that.

On The Up: Artificial reefs in Tauranga Harbour aim to restore marine life
The project, involving local iwi and universities, aims to support marine ecosystems and the 'blue economy'. 'The rest is the circle of life,' Tua said. Deep Dive Division is a Hamilton-based company specialising in commercial and scientific diving services across Aotearoa. It is believed to be the only Māori and Pacific-owned dive company in New Zealand, combining Māori perspectives with environmental science and advanced technology. The nine reefs, situated 13m deep in Tauranga Harbour, were collectively named Peara, meaning 'pearl' in te reo Māori and symbolising the nucleus of change, growth and life, Tua said. The artificial reefs were also given another name, 'social housing for crayfish', and use natural fibres and marine-grade concrete along with proven techniques in how to deploy and rig them to the ocean floor. The artificial reef systems have been deployed in the water to biomimic the habitats of our natural marine ecosystems and restore and protect biodiverse native marine life. Six of the structures were manufactured at Hynds Pipe Systems Ltd under the leadership of Hynds Holdings director and R&D director Aaron Hynds. The remaining three were constructed using a 3D concrete-printing technique. The project was a collaboration between Deep Dive Division, the University of Waikato, local iwi, Hynds Pipe Systems Ltd and the Port of Tauranga. The trial is scheduled to run for an initial period of 24 to 36 months. The effects of the artificial reefs on marine life are plain to see and happen fast, Tua said. Tua said when they started installing the second part of the reef, he saw that crayfish were already crawling on the first part. 'It went straight to the hole that was designed for it.' Projects like Peara were a push into the 'blue economy' and the beginning push into aquaculture, he said. 'We embrace this industry because there will be jobs for local people.' It was a purpose-driven project, starting with surveying the water and marine life and understanding the situation in Tauranga Harbour in real time, Courntey Karalus said. There was also a purposeful New Zealand-led and based approach to creating these artificial reefs, she said. 'Many reef systems going in New Zealand are being bought in from Australia.' Deep Dive Division recognised the strong cultural identity New Zealand has regarding the ocean and freshwater, Courtney said. 'We've got a marine heritage that we need to acknowledge.' Deep Dive was established in 2018 and was involved with urban ocean agriculture structures, with a more real-world approach to environmental science. She said the idea for the artificial reef followed the initial meeting with their partners in Tauranga Harbour. 'We were sitting at our home office whiteboard and sketching something up.' University of Waikato professor Chris Battershill and Professor David Schiel, from the University of Canterbury, have led Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment -funded research to assess marine life loss in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Battershill has worked closely on the development of Peara, providing scientific guidance on the conditions needed for marine ecosystems to regenerate. The Peara reefs were designed to support the growth of seaweed and shellfish, act as a wave break, and attract marine life. Inbuilt harmonics also helped deter whales and reduce the risk of beaching. By introducing hard substrates, such as natural marine rock or engineered structures like Peara, the reefs provided essential footholds for marine life to grow in sandy or silty environments that typically lacked structure. Reef structures and their acoustic properties were designed using mātauranga Māori to support the colonisation of native marine species in harbours, Battershill said. 'These native colonisers help resist the spread of invasive species.' Native kelps such as Ecklonia and Carpophyllum forest species, along with mats of turfing red seaweeds, provided habitat for important taonga like crayfish, kina and other invertebrates that also served as food for fish, Battershill said. 'These reef outcrops offer refuge for marine biodiversity that is now rare or absent in the harbour.'
