Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa grows impatient over contract talks, just wants to ‘get something done’

After intermittent participation at voluntary offseason workouts, Tua Tagovailoa reported to the Miami Dolphins’ mandatory minicamp Tuesday. But the quarterback is admittedly growing impatient with long-term contract negotiations, telling reporters he’s simply ready to “get something done.”

“I’m not blind to the people that are in my position that are getting paid,” Tagovailoa said. “Am I concerned about it? I’m not concerned about it. But there’s a lot of discussion that we’ve had that we are just trying to move that thing into the right direction where we can both be happy.”

Asked if he’s upset by a perceived lack of progress on a long-term deal, Tagovailoa downplayed that assessment while acknowledging his own eagerness to finalize an extension.

“Well I think there’s been a lot of progress at this point, from where we started,” he said. “Now, you can ask the other question: Why aren’t we seeing an agreement?
