Tua Contract Details Discussion Thread

Somewhat off topic, i am not sure how LB is improved for example. we let Jerome Baker go, and signed Jordan Brooks. Seattle let Jordan Brooks go, and signed Baker. So I guess we think Brooks is better, they think Baker is better. We will get to find out. My suspicion is much ado about nothing and we are more or less in the same spot. Hopefully I am wrong and they upgraded. I am sneaky optimistic about the Cleveland LB Anthony Walker they picked up for almost nothing. If he can stay healthy, that one could turn out pretty good.

Brooks is widely regarded as a much better linebacker as Baker. Brooks and Walker are so much better than Baker it’s not even funny. We also added depth and talent to OLB in chop and Kamara which is also linebackers however didn’t include them since they were drafted.

I dont mind the thread at all tbh, but donr expect alot of discussion as there isnt much to talk about...

I can sum the response in a sentence. It was a great contract design for everyone involved... what more can we really discuss here?

Lmao nothing to discuss, other than the fact that Hurts, Lamar, Lawrence, Love, Goff all received contracts with more GTD that make it extremely difficult/impossible to cut them after 3 years, with Tua we can walk away after year 3 no problem. Only a fool thought Tua would sign for less than 50 AAV, Miami doesn't care about that. They just wanted to protect themselves in case Tua turns into Russell Wilson 2.0 which they achieved, well done by the organization.

The Dolphins want Tua to make a ton of money and live up to every penny in the contract, that's the goal. Tua could have taken the Kirk Cousins route and held this team hostage with the franchise tag but chose not to. Props to him for accepting such a team friendly deal. Now he's on the clock for the next 3 years, that's our window to win a Super Bowl which is all Miami ever wanted.

Take a bow Mr. Grier, I knew you would come out on top. The pressure is on Tua now, time to step it up.

We've also added quality players in a very cost effective way.

I really don't feel like this roster got worst this off season. Actually I think they improved in a considerable amount tbh.

I agree. Offensive weapons, better, linebackers, better, secondary, better. Only real concerns are pass rush, an unavoidable issue given the Chubb/Phillips injuries, and OL, always OL.

Austin Jackson has a very tradeable contract.

TB should've signed him before moving him to LT.

I want to keep Jackson AND get Whifs, trade next years 1st for him. It's gonna be in the 30s anyway.

Let Armstead be the backup. Or let him start the season, he will get hurt before he hits 100 snaps anyway.

You may not care about details, but they still matter. The Dolphins can get out of the Tua contract faster than any high priced QB signed in the past 2 years with less dead money and more cap savings. That isn't important though, Tua got paid and h8ers be mad lol.

Ya I'm not keeping Austin Jackson if I am acquiring Wirfs and for multiple reasons.

First off, Wirfs is a better RT than LT, which is why TB is struggling to sign him as a LT.

Second, I like Patrick Paul a lot. So having him be an understudy to a guy like Armstead is ideal for 2024.

Third, I need to remove Jackson's salary from the 2025 books in order to justify spending to Wirfs at what I can only assume would be close to $30M.

And lastly, i don't want to give up the draft capital and Tampa is going to demand a starting OT in return, especially one who is a natural LT.

There might be a less than 1% chance of a trade happening but it would 100% include Austin Jackson if it did.

Every single post of yours is a live look at a brain hopelessly trying to defend an ego. Its ****ing lame to be honest.

Im here for football discussion, not a social experiment of people dealing with their insecurities.

I mean outside of you and your 3 friends discussing how long its going to be before the Fins can get Tua off this team, no... there isnt much to discuss...
 
I don't really look at other QBs contract details in depth, but I just assume the Dolphins have to protect themselves against injury....and Tua simply has to accept that for obvious reasons.
