Tua Tagovailoa admitted he considered retirement during the offseason
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa admitted he considered retirement in the offseason after the concussions he suffered during the 2022 NFL campaign.
The 25-year-old was speaking at the Dolphins’ pre-draft press conference, reflecting on how last season ended on Christmas after his second documented concussion of the season.
He was also out between September 30 and October 22 following a head injury at the Cincinnati Bengals which caused the NFL to revise the league concussion protocol, but Tagovailoa said he wants to play long enough for his son to understand what he watches his father do for a living.

“I considered [retirement] for a time, having sat down with my family, having sat down with my wife and having those kinds of conversations,” Tagovailoa said. “But really it would be hard for me to walk away from this game with how old I am.
“It’s my health, it’s my body. 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 have quit a long time ago.”
