You have family, friends, you guys, everyone constantly asking about it. His agents and I have had discussions, just general but not really about that. We just kind of agreed let&#8217;s just let him play out the season and then we&#8217;ll attack that in the offseason.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grier and the Dolphins picked up Tagovailoa&#8217;s fifth-year option in March, and the No. 5 pick of the 2020 NFL Draft is due to make a base salary of $1.01 million this year and $23.17 in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Alabama product is coming off his best NFL season so far and his first in head coach Mike McDaniel&#8217;s offense. Tagovailoa threw for career highs of 3,548 yards, 25 touchdowns and a 105.5 rating, but also missed four games and the Dolphins&#8217; wild-card loss to the Bills after suffering multiple head injuries.<\/p>\n<p>With talks now halted until the offseason, the 2023 season is all the more pivotal to Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Dolphins DL Christian Wilkins&#x2019; focus on &#x2018;being the best teammate I can be&#x2019; after extension talks fall through            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL cutdown deadline Debrief: Backup QBs have fates decided; kickers on the move            <\/li>\n<li>              Cowboys acquire CB Noah Igbinoghene from Dolphins for CB Kelvin Joseph            <\/li>\n<li>              Dolphins interested in RB trade market up to certain price; calls to Raiders on Josh Jacobs didn&#x27;t go far            <\/li>\n<li>              Tua Tagovailoa responds to analyst&#x27;s criticism of physique: Keep &#x27;my name out of your mouth&#x27;            <\/li>\n<li>              Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa felt &#x27;really good&#x27; getting back on field despite early interception            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s a different situation for Wilkins, as the Dolphins&#8217; 2019 first-rounder is entering the final deal of his rookie contract. Due to make $10.75 million this year, Wilkins&#8217; extension talks fell through. He said Tuesday he&#8217;s focused on the season ahead and being a good teammate, but seemed to be open to continued talks.<\/p>\n<p>Grier was rather transparent that any extension conversations would take place after the Dolphins&#8217; 2023 campaign concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In terms of Christian, we&#8217;ve had a lot of great dialogue with him and his agent,&#8221; Grier said on Wednesday. &#8220;Very positive. We made an offer that we thought was fair. And there&#8217;s times when you do things like that, it has to work for both sides. So, there was never any ill-will from each side. I&#8217;ve had a lot of great communication. I enjoy his agent. We have good conversations. For right now, we&#8217;re going to hold off until, in my mind, at the end of the season, because I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s fair to distract Christian from his goal of what he wants to achieve and for the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The attention in Miami is clearly on Sept. 10 when the Dolphins open up against the Los Angeles Chargers. Meanwhile, potential contract extensions for two of Miami&#8217;s brightest starts will wait until 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/dolphins-gm-chris-grier-tables-tua-tagovailoa-christian-wilkins-extension-talks-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to focus on the season ahead and not the negotiating table in South Beach.
