Despite doubts from some teams, the Miami Dolphins took a chance on him with the fifth overall pick.

According to the latest report, as of October 2023, Tagovailoa’s net worth is estimated to be around $4 million before signing his new contract. His rookie-scale contract with the Miami Dolphins is the major contributor to this amount. However, with the extension, his net worth skyrocketed.
