Tua Tagovailoa Talks Dolphins' Outlook After Jalen Ramsey Trade: 'I'm Very Excited'

The Miami Dolphins continued to load their roster with star talent this offseason, making a blockbuster trade for cornerback Jalen Ramsey to continue an all-in trend that began last year.

Suffice it to say Tua Tagovailoa is champing at the bit to get things going for the 2023 season.

"I'm very excited," Tagovailoa said, per Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post. "I think our entire team is excited to get back out there. Get to meet a lot of the newer guys and guys who have been in this system for a whole year now. So it's very exciting. And I think a lot of fans, the community, everyone is very supportive."

Tagovailoa had a breakout 2022 season, throwing for 3,548 yards and 25 touchdowns against eight interceptions while leading the NFL in passer rating (105.5). He also missed four games with injuries, including two stints in concussion protocol that ultimately forced him to miss the Dolphins' wild-card matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

"Offseason training has been good," Tagovailoa said. "Been working on strength in many areas and been chipping away at things that I felt like I needed to work on to get to where I feel like I can get to in the later parts of the season."

The Dolphins doubled down on their support of Tagovailoa this offseason, refuting any speculation they could be a suitor for Lamar Jackson and then guaranteeing the Alabama product's fifth-year option.

Miami is listed at 25-1 to win the Super Bowl at DraftKings Sportsbook. Concerns about Tagovailoa's health are likely paramount in those relatively high odds given the rest of the roster's stellar composition.
