The Van Noy contract had an out for a reason, and Miami took it because he wasn’t an impact player and the younger Van stepped up and is much cheaper. I doubt they tried at all to renegotiate that contact and just took the out they put in place. I also think they want to upgrade from Karras to someone that is at least average in the run game. I don’t think it’s a secret that Flores wants to be able to pound the rock, and Karras is simply not a good run blocker at all. Trying to tie these players, that were simply okay players for Miami last year, to Tua not being the guy really shows a big reach to hate on Tua instead of the much more realistic logic that Miami wants to upgrade those positions and Karras and Van Noy were no longer needed. Just my opinion tho.
