Tua Tagovailoa's wife posts supportive message after Falcons reportedly agree to deal with Pro Bowl QB
Annah Tagovailoa publicly expressed her pride and excitement for her husband, Tua Tagovailoa, following his reported signing with the Atlanta Falcons after being released by the Dolphins.
Annah Tagovailoa took to social media to share her support after reports surfaced that her husband, Pro Bowl quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, agreed to a new one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons. The announcement followed Tagovailoa's release from the Miami Dolphins after a six-season tenure, where he faced various challenges, including injuries. Annah's message showed her enthusiastic support, indicating her excitement about their move to Atlanta and her eagerness to cheer him on as he begins this new chapter.
The Dolphins made the decision to release the 28-year-old quarterback, a move that will have significant financial implications for the team, incurring an NFL-record $99.2 million in dead money against the salary cap. By labeling Tagovailoa as a post-June 1 release, the Dolphins can distribute this financial hit over two seasons, with a major cap impact of $67.4 million in the current season. This strategy, while financially burdensome, allows the Dolphins some flexibility for future roster decisions.
With Tagovailoa joining the Falcons, he will now compete alongside another left-handed quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., as the team looks to improve following a challenging 7-10 season. The addition of Tagovailoa could provide a much-needed boost to the Falcons' offense, making this an intriguing development for both the player's career and the franchise as they aim for better results in the upcoming NFL season.
