Miami Dolphins\u00a0<\/strong>quarterback\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa<\/strong>\u00a0has put his stunning lakeside\u00a0Florida\u00a0mansion on the market for $3 million\u2014as speculation continues to swirl about his readiness for the coming season after he was forced to skip six games in the 2024 season because of injury.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa, 27, joined\u00a0the Miami Dolphins\u00a0in 2020, having been selected as the fifth overall pick in that year’s NFL draft following a season-ending injury that cut short his triumphant career at\u00a0Alabama.<\/p>\n

Though he has continued to impress with his stellar performance on the field, it is Tagovailoa’s many absences from regular season games that have drawn as much interest as\u2014if not more than\u2014his appearances.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the 2024 season alone, he was absent from six games\u2014two of which were the result of a hip injury, while the other four came after Tagovailoa suffered the third registered concussion of his NFL career.<\/p>\n

After he suffered that concussion in September 2024, questions were raised about whether it was safe for the athlete to continue playing, with some going as far as to suggest that he should retire rather than risk any further harm to his health.<\/p>\n

However, Tagovailoa has shut down all speculation about a potential retirement, telling\u00a0ESPN\u00a0in November that stepping away from the sport had never crossed his mind.<\/p>\n

“It never stuck in my mind that I was ever thinking of retiring,” he said. “Whether the doctors told me that or not, it would have just been information for me.”<\/p>\n

Still, that hasn’t stopped Dolphins head coach\u00a0Mike McDaniel<\/strong>\u00a0from taking steps to safeguard his lineup for the 2025 season\u2014namely by enlisting former\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0<\/strong>quarterback\u00a0Zach Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0to join the team as a backup for Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n

But while the NFL quarterback is insisting on staying put as far as his NFL career is concerned, he is making some major moves elsewhere in his life by putting his longtime mansion in Davie, FL, on the market, five years after buying it for $1.65 million.<\/p>\n

The expansive property, which is described as a “stunning waterfront estate” in its listing, is located inside Long Lake Ranches, a gated community that sits about 25 minutes from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where the Dolphins play their home games.<\/p>\n

Long Lake Ranches boasts a number of high-end amenities for residents to enjoy, including a fitness center; a clubhouse; nature and horseback trails; and pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts.<\/p>\n

There are, according to the community’s website, just 240 single-family homes inside the neighborhood, which is guarded 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa’s property is, according to the listing, “one of Long Lake Ranches’ most impressive lakefront lots,” offering 0.8 acres of land as well as “spectacular” water views.<\/p>\n

It features five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms as well as a private movie theater, a putting green, an enormous pool, and an outdoor summer kitchen that can be used for entertaining year-round, thanks to Florida’s balmy climate.<\/p>\n

The home is understood to have served as the football pro’s primary residence since he purchased it in 2020\u2014the same year he was signed by the Dolphins\u2014having sold his Alabama abode just days earlier.<\/p>\n

It’s currently unclear why Tagovailoa has opted to sell his lakefront hideaway; however, records indicate that he has not yet purchased another property in the area.<\/p>\n

In the years since he moved into the home, the sports star has welcomed two children with his wife,\u00a0Annah<\/strong>\u2014a son named\u00a0Ace<\/strong>, now 2, and a daughter,\u00a0Maisey<\/strong>, now 1, so it may be that the family is on the hunt for somewhere with more space.<\/p>\n

Certainly, he has the money to splash out on another home, having signed a four-year contract extension in 2024 that is worth a whopping $212 million\u2014in addition to his $42 million signing bonus.<\/p>\n

Per that contract, the NFL pro will receive an annual salary of about $53.1 million, more than enough to snap up a new pad in the Miami area.<\/p>\n

Even if he is forced to retire, he still stands to earn a hefty chunk of that full $212 million, with Sportrac’s co-founder,\u00a0Michael Ginnitti<\/strong>, telling\u00a0MarketWatch\u00a0in 2024 that if Tagovailoa is “medically forced into retirement, he has a right to collect” the money in full.<\/p>\n

Either way, Tagovailoa has a plethora of properties to choose from when picking his next Florida home base\u2014including a dramatic waterfront property that was recently listed by former\u00a0Dolphins star\u00a0Mike Pouncey<\/strong>\u00a0for $6.95 million.<\/p>\n

Located in Fort Lauderdale, the home boasts its very own Dolphins-branded football field as well as an enormous pool, a private dock, and an in-house elevator.<\/p>\n
