What Tua Tagovailoa's extension means for him, Miami Dolphins

MIAMI -- For just the second time since Dan Marino retired, the Miami Dolphins have signed a quarterback to a multiple-year extension.

Tua Tagovailoa agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million deal with the Dolphins that includes $167 million guaranteed, sources confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's the richest contract in franchise history and the guaranteed money is the eighth-most among quarterbacks.

It also ends a two-day standoff between Tagovailoa and the team, in which he was a minimal participant in Miami's practices at training camp.

Tagovailoa joins Ryan Tannehill as the only quarterbacks to re-sign with Miami since Marino retired after the 1999 season.
