Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa buys his first home in Miami

New Miami Dolphins quarterback is officially putting down roots in Miami.

The Dolphins drafted Tua with the #5 pick in the 2020 NFL draft, with the hopes he’ll be their long term franchise quarterback.

During the Fox Sports video-documentary series “Tua Talks”, Tua said he’s looking to change the culture in Miami:

“I want to change the franchise. Change the culture. Change the atmosphere. Change the outlook of the fans when they cheer,” said Tagovailoa at the end of Wednesday’s Episode 3 of ‘Tua Talks’.

“You know, just get a whole new feeling of what it feels like to be a fan of the Miami Dolphins now.”

Looks like he’ll be trying to change the “culture” from his brand new $1.65 million dollar home:

Via Realtor.com:

“Located in one of the most sought after guard gated communities in South FL, this stunning Davie estate is situated on one of Long Lake Ranches most impressive lake front lots with nearly an acre of land & spectacular water views. A modern resort paradise with 5 beds plus office, 4.5 baths, over 5000 sqft fully upgraded throughout with new & impeccable modern finishes. The pictures of the home speak for themselves, but nothing compares to viewing the home in person- it’s truly a rare find. Long Lake Ranches is private, serene & beautifully landscaped, with tennis courts and playgrounds. Across street is Tree Tops Park, enjoy nature trails, horseback riding, hiking, biking paths, paddle boats, canoeing. Home is 15 min from FLL, 20 min from Beach, & 30 min from MIA. A rated school district!”

Tua signed a four-year, $30.275 million contract earlier this year that included a fifth year option.

He also nabbed a $19.6 million signing bonus.

Congrats to Tua on his new home.
