Lets say he gets $175M in guaranteed money. That would rank him between Jalen Hurts $179.4M ranked #6 and Jared Goff $170.6M ranked #7. Both of them have been to a Superbowl and Tua has not even won a playoff game. So he would have no argument that he is being underpaid.

Lets say he gets $256M in total contract value. That would rank him between Josh Allen $258M ranked #6 and Jalen Hurts $255M ranked #7. Josh Allen has won multiple playoff games and been to an AFC Championship game and Jalen Hurts has been to a Superbowl.

Lets say he gets a contract with an annual value of $51.5M. That would rank him between Lamar Jackson $52M ranked #5 and Jalen Hurts $51M ranked #6. Lamar Jackson has been an NFL MVP and Jalen Hurts has been to a Superbowl.

I think that would be a fair deal for both sides. The Dolphins would probably like to pay a bit less and Tua probably thinks he should make a bit more but this would be a fair compromise.
 
So Tuas contract negotiations will largely boil down to the fact that he's played one playoff game against the best NFL player of all time in negative 30 degree weather?

And not the sum of his career? Riiiiight.

Hasn't Tua lost less playoff games than Allen, Jackson and Hurts? See I can say foolish stuff that make no sense too.

I know this is not a popular take.

But I am now rooting for a Tua holdout.

I'm a huge Tua supporter. I know what we have in Tua. I look forward to the next 10-15 years of greatness.

Him holding out? Even the first 5 games? Everyone, including Ross will clearly see how valuable he is to this team and offense. Him holding out, IMO, will be the quickest way to an extension at this point

Grier will be begging for Tua to accept a top 3 contract by that time. When Tua says "no, I want the top spot, you had your shot at a market value deal" Grier will fold so fast after their 1-4 start( their 1 win being a 9-6 victorty over the Pats) hell be wishing he didn't di$% Tua around for so long.
