After a very complicated 2022 season, which included two concussions, Tua Tagovailoa admitted that retirement crossed his mind with so much at stake.”Yeah, I think I considered it for a time.”

However, the quarterback explained the reasons why he is back to play in his fourth season.”Having sat down with my family, having sat down with my wife and having those kind of conversations, but, really, it would be hard for me to walk away from this game with how old I am, with my son.”

Accordin to Tua’s words, his son was an inspiration to stay with the Miami Dolphins. “I always dreamed of playing as long as I could to where my son knew exactly what he was watching his dad do. It’s my health, it’s my body and I feel like this is what’s best for me and my family. I love the game of football. If I didn’t, I would’ve quit a long time ago.”
