MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa was not with the Miami Dolphins for Tuesday’s organized team activities, evidently for a very good reason.
He was at a charity golf tournament in Alabama hosted by now-retired Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, his college coach — an absence that the Dolphins were perfectly fine with.
That said, Tagovailoa has also missed some time in recent weeks for non-golf reasons, presumably amid the talks between his representation and the team on an extension that could push the salary of Miami’s starting quarterback to somewhere around $50 million annually.
“He has been here for offseason activities. He has not been here for offseason activities. He has been both,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. “I think, important in the player-coach relationship, is communication. However things play out, as long as we’re communicating and we’re on our p’s and q’s in what we need to get accomplished, then we have a fighting chance. It’s been a good exercise in our relationship this offseason.”
