The Miami Dolphins are currently in a standoff regarding the contract extension for their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. Despite Tagovailoa's strong performance over the past two years, where he was considered a Top 5 QB, the Dolphins are hesitant to offer him a contract comparable to the four-year, $212 million extension recently signed by Jared Goff with the Detroit Lions. This hesitation stems from various reasons, including Tagovailoa's lack of a playoff win, which some argue is more reflective of the franchise's long-standing issues rather than his individual performance. The situation raises questions about the Dolphins' next steps if they cannot reach an agreement with Tagovailoa, with discussions about potential replacements already emerging.

"The next Quarterback contract is gonna be really big.. Are the Rams gonna pay Matthew Stafford and are the Dolphins gonna pay Tua Tagovailoa" @mlombardiNFL #PMSLive https://t.co/4Nve6En4U0
Is Tua deserving of a lucrative extension? He has done everything this franchise has asked him to do except win a playoff game. But that’s a 24-year franchise issue, one caused by eras and regimes filled with dysfunction. That’s not on Tagovailoa. https://t.co/ZtdGz3PmWv
Tua should want the max and the Dolphins don’t seem eager to pull the trigger on it which is understandable for various reasons https://t.co/bnqxyy7hjC
The Miami Dolphins should pay @Tua the market price contract he has EARNED. Tua was at least a Top 5 QB the last 2 years. Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert weren’t and got paid market price, as they should have, as the next guy up with a bright future ahead of them. Don’t trust… https://t.co/rVoyqdbluc
The Miami Dolphins are dug into their position that they will not pay QB Tua Tagovailoa "a Goff-esque contract rate,” per @OmarKelly The Lions recently signed Goff to a four-year, $212M extension. https://t.co/XNSdSlRrJX
