Tua 'not blind' to QB deals but 'not concerned'

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa says he's confident he and the team will reach an extension before the start of the season .

Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said in February that they would ideally reach an agreement before the season begins in September .

Tua led the NFL in passing yards last season and was named the AFC 's starting quarterback at the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.

He enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2024 and has been entrenched in negotiations with the Dolphins.

Although he skipped at least a portion of the Dolphins ' offseason program and voluntary organized team activities, he was present for mandatory minicamp, avoiding any fine. He did not fully participate, however, sitting out of 11-on-11 drills while taking part in 7 -on-7 drills. Tagovailoa said frustration wasn't the right word to describe how he feels about a lack of an agreement at this point in the offseason but agreed that "antsy" was a more accurate representation. "Just want to get something done," he said. "That's it.".
