As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to play the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, we sat down with Kevin Nogle of The Phinsider to learn more about the opposing side.
Question 1: How was Tua Tagovailoa’s offseason contract extension received in Miami?
There was a surprising amount of debate about Tagovailoa’s status with the team and whether they should sign him to an extension now or make him play out his fifth-year option and then potentially franchise tag him, keeping him under contract without the long-term risk. Maybe based on the amount of debate about Tagovailoa and his play since he was selected fifth overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, maybe the contract extension debate should not have been a surprise.
