Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has fueled uncertainty over his NFL future after selling his stunning Florida mansion for $2.6 million.
Tagovailoa is facing calls to retire at 27 after suffering his third concussion in the space of two years last season, leading to fears over his long-term health.
His latest head injury forced him to miss six games for the Dolphins early in the 2024 season, before he returned to play in all nine of their remaining fixtures.
DailyMail.com revealed - back in April - that Tagovailoa had put his Florida mansion up for sale, amid uncertainty over his future, and now reports claim it has been sold.
According to Homes.com, the 27-year-old has closed a sale on the five-bedroom 'waterfront estate' in Davie, Florida for $2.6 million - which is $400,000 less than he'd been hoping for.
The gated community, which is around 25 minutes away from the Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium, includes a number of high-end amenities - such as a fitness center, clubhouse and pickleball, tennis and basketball courts.

An estimated 240 single-family homes are believed to be in the neighborhood, which is guarded 24 hours a day.
Tagovailoa's mansion is said to be one of Long Lake Ranches' most impressive properties with 0.8 acres of land and 'spectacular' water views.
The Hawaii-born star first purchased it for $1.65m when he was signed by Miami back in 2020, but is now looking to offload it for just less than double that amount.
As well as five bedrooms, it also boasts 4.5 bathrooms, a private movie theater, huge swimming pool, golf putting green and an outdoor summer kitchen.
However, back in December, Tagovailoa did reveal that one of his cars was broken into while his family were at home - which led to him hiring further security.
He revealed: '[It was] a little too close for my comfort with my family being in the house.
'So we got personal security to take care of all of that. When we're on the road, we've got someone with my wife, got someone also at the house, surveying the house.'
It's unclear what the sale of the property will mean for Tagovailoa's future with the Dolphins - amid calls for him to retire after suffering repeated concussion injuries.

Tagovailoa only put pen to paper on a new four-year, $212m contract with the Dolphins last year, which came with a hefty $42m signing bonus.
Even if he does walk away from the NFL this offseason, he will still pick up a significant amount from that deal due to being medically forced into an early retirement.
The former Alabama quarterback has spent five seasons in Miami after being selected with the fifth overall pick at the 2020 draft.
He was initially slated to be selected first, only for a season-ending hip injury in college to drop him down the pecking order.
Tagovailoa has played 64 times for the Dolphins, racking up 15,705 passing yards and 101 touchdowns, as well as 455 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
In 2023, he led the league in passing yards with 4,624 and made it to his first and only Pro Bowl.
