Tua Tagovailoa Trade Would Carry Massive Cap Implications

A potential trade of Tua Tagovailoa would come with major financial ramifications. The acquiring team would assume $55 million in 2026, nearly all guaranteed, plus $37 million in 2027 and $49.4 million in 2028. Miami would absorb $45.2 million in dead cap but save $11 million. Additionally, $3 million of Tua’s 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 13. And that’s why a trade seems highly unlikely, even if Miami absorbs part of the cap hit.
