NFL Network Report on Tua's Contract Extension

[Ikema]

pay him the least he is willing to take, and move on with your lives

hey I know we can give it a name, "negotiation"

 

[ANUFan]

We'll see what the numbers are. But I'd have to imagine what makes sense is in the following ranking, AFC side:

1) Mahommes
2) Allen
3) Jackson
4) Burrow
5).,...Tua somewhere here
6) Herbert

 

[rent this space]

but why? Is money isn't? I know for sure it's not my money.

Many Finheaven experts think they could/should sign him for about $30-$35 million per season

 

[YorkshirePhin]

Great person, Excellent professional, solid QB.

However if they pay him Burrow $$$ they are bonkers!

 

[Zounds]

There no report that he’s requesting $55 million per year. Why even post this. It’s just some guys opinion who isn’t even qualified to post on Finheaven.

 

[andyahs]

This is going to upset many here

Good

 

[Highzenga]

What are you basing his clearly better career start than Herbert, on?

Stats, winning and the eye test. Herbert has a sub 500 career record with a talented roster

 

[ANUFan]

Still amazes me that some how Daniel Jones got $40M per season.

Thats still Bananas to me.

 

[Danny]

the same people wanting to pay Tua 50mill per season are the same people that will be complaining the most about Tua not having enough good players around him

3 reporters LIVE ON THE FIELD AT THE SUPER BOWL who work for the NFL Network aren't qualified? LOL

That's a new level of delusion

He won a road playoff game and in that season only threw 5 INTs in the regular season. That's why. And $40 mill is like "low money" for a starting QB with the pay scale going up

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I’m not doing it for that kind of money.

I love the kid but I’m paying him like a guy who can carry a team to a title. I’m willing to pay him like a guy who is a strong part of the equation to a title.

If he’s worth that kind of money in a contract extension, he must be worth that kind of value in a trade too. And if that’s the case, I’m exploring the historic compensation the Bears are seeking.

Again, I love Tua but I’m not going to pretend his stats put him into an elite category that he’s just outside of.

I’d rather play out the fifth year then be near the top of the pay spectrum.

I was hoping it would be closer to $40 million per year, but I guess that's the going rate.

I have a few concerns about Tua, but also think he hasn't quite reached his ceiling yet. My biggest concern is if that "sneaky" athletic ability will return, or if the bulked up, less athletic Tua is what we get moving forward? I think the decision making will improve with a better offensive line and added talent on offense.

All in all, Tua is the best quarterback the Dolphins have had since Marino. I think the team can win with him. He's not Mahomes, but Tua's put up really good numbers in McDaniel's offense.

Not a one has a clue what Tua's demands are.

People get wrapped up in the per year. He only got like 90 million guaranteed which is all he’ll ever see. You can get Tua in the same 40 million range however the difference in Tua and Jones is probably that same 4 year 160 jones got is fully guaranteed.

Yikes that’s a lot for a guy who can’t run the 2 min drill

Don't think he was asked to run the 2 min drill.
