Will the Miami Dolphins quarterback follow his Green Bay Packers counterpart and refuse to practice until he gets a contract extension?
Tua Tagovailoa remained without his coveted contract extension as the day Miami Dolphins veterans were scheduled to report to training camp arrived, and his already touchy situation now has an added element because of what happened in Green Bay.
Tua is scheduled to play on his fifth-year option for a fully guaranteed $23 million in 2024, whereas Love is schedule to earn $13 million with another $9 possible in incentives after he signed a one-year extension last offseason instead of the Packers exercising his fifth-year option. Yes, there were extenuating circumstances -- namely injuries on offense -- but the fact remains that Tua didn't perform particularly well down the stretch last season, including the playoff loss at Kansas City.
If it's only a matter of days before Love gets his extension, there's probably no harm in him sitting out a few practices. the reality is that we just don't know what White would do if given the opportunity. And we certainly could bring up the name Kurt Warner, who had zero credentials of significance in 1999 when he was thrust into the starting lineup of the St. Louis Rams after Trent Green went down with a preseason knee injury and proceeded to help win a Super Bowl title that very season.
