MIAMI GARDENS - It's Year 2 for Sun Sentinel Dolphins columnist Chris Perkins and Dolphins writer David Furones picking prop bets, which they'll do for all 17 regular-season games. Prior to each game, Furones and Perkins will select a "Best Bet" and a "Longshot." The "Best Bet" selection is a near 50-50 proposition while the "Longshot" is at least +300 or a 3-to-1 probability.

"Tagovailoa is making more than Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, Matthew Stafford, Jayden Daniels," Newton said. "Am I pocket watching? No, I'm putting things into perspective here ... In this case, it should be more money, more expectations. When I see Tua Tagovailoa over this year, alone, I've heard him more than I ever had. That's not to say you can't talk, I like quiet Tua. Alabama Tua. Chip on your shoulder Tua. Not, 'is somebody going to come in and watch film.' "What you're being paid, what you're asked to do, what you have the capability of -- from one quarterback to the another, I look at the situation like come on dawg. Especially when you've got a Ferrari and a Lamborghini and other amenities that other quarterbacks wish they had."

Entering his second year, the former sixth-round pick Washington has been one of Tagovailoa's top receivers this summer, with Tyreek Hill missing the past three weeks of practice with an oblique injury. After Miami's preseason finale, during which he scored an impressive 25-yard touchdown, Washington said the chemistry he's built with Tagovailoa is the result of a deliberate effort on his part.

Tua Tagovailoa expressed that joining the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition is a great honor, although he is still learning about its implications.
