That is 52.5 yearly and that would make it tough to keep other stars..... What does this mean for Tua and the Dolphins?



I believe after this year, Tua will be paid the highest salary in the entire NFL.

Tua hasn’t done enough to warrant that type of contract

I hope he gets a contract like that because that means he would have kicked serious butt this season.

Neither has Herbert.

This might be wishful thinking, but Tua doesn't strike me as a guy that will seek to be "the highest paid QB". He'll get his money, just doubt it will be record breaking.

I’m thinking the chargers will regret this contract in a couple years.

What's Herbie done?

Really ? What`s Herbert done to warrant his new contract ? More games and that`s it . Get ready to be very disappointed when Tua actually does get his new contract . Right now injuries are the only thing keeping him from that type of money .

Tua hasn’t done enough to warrant that type of contract

And Herbert has?

Nothing

He certainly has talent, but hasn't performed to earn that contract. However, I'm not the one cutting the check so I guess my opinion doesn't mean all that much.

I have a feeling Tua's contract will be a normal Grier special. Team friendly after 3 years and easily restructured to massage the cap. Also, years 4 & 5 will be high but will probably be considered a deal once those years come (see Mahomes contract).

So yeah, I see Tua getting that kind of contract and being the Fins QB until 2029. Not sure why, but that year just seemed very futuristic to me. Like flying cars. Oof, I'm old

Tua probably gets 50 per, but only 100 guaranteed

What's Herbie done?

Averaged 31 td and 4600 yards per year with a 96 qbr, while being healthy. He's earned his deal. This is an owner showing a belief in his player.

Tua will get paid if he can show that he's consistent and healthy as well. However, I don't ever see Tua getting a deal of this magnitude because of his injury history.
