Two key Dolphins players are due for extensions, as both Tua Tagovailoa and Christian Wilkins have talked with the team about a new deal. However, Miami is not planning on negotiating with either player during the season, meaning they will pick up talks in the offseason.
General manager Chris Grier told the media that he is happy with where talks stand with both players and are comfortable waiting until after the season. For Tagovailoa specifically, Grier said they want to keep him focused on the season after an injury-riddled 2022.
“I think just think for him, it’s just to let Tua play again,” Grier said, via Alain Poupart of All Dolphins. “Those things can be a big distraction, family, friends, you guys (the media), everyone constantly asking him about it. His agents and I have had discussions just general but not really about that and just kind of agreed, like, let’s just let him play out the season and then we’ll attack that in the offseason.”
