BREAKING: Miami Dolphins and Jonah Savaiinaea Agree to Four-Year Deal with Major Guarantees
In a major development ahead of training camp, the Miami Dolphins have officially agreed to terms with standout offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea on a four-year contract, solidifying a key part of their offensive front for the foreseeable future.
Sources close to the situation confirm that the deal includes over $30 million in guaranteed money, reflecting the team’s strong belief in Savaiinaea’s long-term potential and immediate impact. The Dolphins are clearly making it a priority to protect quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and build consistency in the trenches.
Savaiinaea, a rising talent known for his power, footwork, and intelligence on the line, quickly caught the attention of scouts and coaches alike with his dominant college play. Miami had been targeting him as a key building block, and this deal now ensures he’ll be anchoring the line through at least the 2029 season.
Last season, Miami’s offensive line showed promise but was frequently hindered by injuries and rotational instability. The additionโand now the long-term retentionโof Savaiinaea brings both talent and stability, something the Dolphins have been lacking up front in recent years.
General Manager Chris Grier praised the signing, calling Savaiinaea โa cornerstone for our offensive identity and a player we expect to grow into a leadership role on and off the field.โ
With this deal, the Dolphins continue to signal their commitment to surrounding Tagovailoa with the support he needs to succeed, while also staying aggressive in building a playoff-ready roster.
More details on the contract and Savaiinaeaโs comments are expected in an official press conference later today.
