After the Miami Dolphins selected Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth pick in the NFL Draft on April 23, the former Alabama quarterback signed a four-year, $ 30.275 million contract that included a team option for a fifth season and a $ 19.6 million drawing bonus.
Following the purchase of a Cadillac Escalade for his mother, Tagovailoa has brought something for himself with his NFL bonanza. Tagovailoa paid $ 1.65 million for a house on the lakefront in Davie, Florida, reports realdeal.com, which covers news about real estate in South Florida.
The 5249-square-foot, multi-level home features six bedrooms, four and a half baths, three-car garage and 0.8-acre pool. The house is about a 10 to 15 minute commute to Baptist Health Training Facility, the Dolphins’ headquarters.
