The Miami Dolphins are releasing Tua Tagovailoa, incurring a record $99.2 million dead money charge on their salary cap for the next two seasons due to his $212 million extension signed less than two years ago. Tagovailoa, who is signing a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, had a disappointing tenure with Miami, finishing with 2,660 yards and 20 touchdowns in 14 starts. This decision follows a trend of teams absorbing significant dead money as the salary cap rises. Comparatively, other notable dead money charges include Russell Wilson’s $85 million with Denver and Kyler Murray’s $54.7 million with Arizona.
