Dave. Sorry to be pedantic but if you already blocked them how can you see the reality denial in real time?

Other people that I haven't blocked replying to their comments. That never ceases to be funny to me.

It’s complete nonsense to think someone wouldn’t offer Tua a massive contract if he was on the market. Especially as the other guy said let him walk as a free agent, that would be complete idiocy.
We’ve just watched a 36 year old Cousins coming off an Achilles tear get $45M a year with $100M guaranteed. To think someone wouldn’t offer a 25 year old who has improved every year and has been top 5 in every QB metric for 2 seasons a row over $50M a year just shows people that don’t understand the QB market.
It's always the same posters with their agenda posting that like it's fact.
Off the top of my head, neither of those teams had star WRs like Tyreek to pay.

What is the hurry? Dallas is going to let DAK walk next year and he is often compared to TUA. Play well against the bottom dwellers and wilt against tougher competition. What are your expectations for Tua if he signs a huge contract, is ok if we get bumped in first round of playoffs again, maybe not make the playoffs which we almost blew at end of season. I am tired of just ok, stats mean squat if you can't produce in big games nor function in cold weather. I like Tua but until he can escape the pocket and carry the team like the great QBs we will not even win division never alone a SB. I pray that the team waits and make decision after next year.

Yeah, Miami's focus is on paying wide receivers. We'll see how that turns out.
I know you can't keep everyone. Looking at Miami's biggest free agent losses, Troy Vincent and Christian Wilkins would be 1-2 for me. Vincent was a long time ago.

This is true.
In theory whenever a player is extended they are "bidding against themselves" as there's no way of knowing wat other teams would have offered.
It also gives them the ability to not be wrong. Because there's no way to.actually prove it unless the player hits FA. Which won't happen with Tua.
But it should be common sense when Cousins get 45, Tua will get a better contract.

That's not how it works. Did Lamar Jackson get any competing offers last offseason before the Ravens gave him what he wanted?
He said he wants what's best for the team as well. Assuming the contract would 'hinder future possibilities' sounds like answering your own question, but it's impossible to determine what level does and doesn't hinder future possibilities.

The FH brothers who argued that CW wasn't worth 16m/year were... well... dreaming.
I remember those threads... "he doesn't get enough sacks"' they said.
He got 27.5m/year
He bet on himself and won. When they do that, there isn't much we can do. He's 29 this year and another team was willing to make him the second highest paid DL in the NFL.
The smart move was to let him walk.

With Tua’s accuracy he’ll never be missed. He’ll just drop the ball a lot.
