Tua Tagovailoa puts $3m mansion up for sale and fuels uncertainty over NFL future

By OLIVER SALT

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has fueled uncertainty over his NFL future after putting his stunning Florida mansion on the market for $3million. 

Tagovailoa is facing calls to retire at 27 after suffering his third concussion in the space of two years last season, leading to fears over his long-term health.

His latest head injury forced him to miss six games for the Dolphins early in the 2024 season, before he returned to play in all nine of their remaining fixtures.

Yet amid speculation over his future in the sport, Realtor.com has revealed that Tagovailoa is selling his five-bedroom ‘waterfront estate’ located inside Long Lake Ranches in Davie, Florida.

The gated community, which is around 25 minutes away from the Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium, includes a number of high-end amenities – such as a fitness center, clubhouse and pickleball, tennis and basketball courts.

An estimated 240 single-family homes are believed to be in the neighborhood, which is guarded 24 hours a day.

Tagovailoa’s mansion is said to be one of Long Lake Ranches’ most impressive properties with 0.8 acres of land and ‘spectacular’ water views.

The Hawaii-born star first purchased it for $1.65m when he was signed by Miami back in 2020, but is now looking to offload it for just less than double that amount.

As well as five bedrooms, it also boasts 4.5 bathrooms, a private movie theater, huge swimming pool, golf putting green and an outdoor summer kitchen.

It is currently unclear why he has listed the property, though with retirement rumors already swirling Tagovailoa’s move will only increase speculation over his future.

Nevertheless, since buying the Long Lake Ranches pad he has welcomed two children with wife Annah – son Ace, two, and daughter Maisie, one – meaning the family may simply be on the hunt for somewhere with more space.

Tagovailoa only put pen to paper on a new four-year, $212m contract with the Dolphins last year, which came with a hefty $42m signing bonus.

Even if he does walk away from the NFL this offseason, he will still pick up a significant amount from that deal due to being medically forced into an early retirement.

The former Alabama quarterback has spent five seasons in Miami after being selected with the fifth overall pick at the 2020 draft.

He was initially slated to be selected first, only for a season-ending hip injury in college to drop him down the pecking order. 

Tagovailoa has played 64 times for the Dolphins, racking up 15,705 passing yards and 101 touchdowns, as well as 455 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.

In 2023, he led the league in passing yards with 4,624 and made it to his first and only Pro Bowl.
