Honestly, What can you really do here?
The market is what the market is!
If you're a ""good" QB in this league you're going to get paid.
It's hard to be a "good" QB in the NFL.
Plus Tua is young and has gotten better every season.
Seems odd to me. I would assume they have been talking all offseason, quietly in the background. Hard for me to believe they just went from zero to 100 on this

Yeah, look at what a Daniel Jones got paid....
How much more do you think Tua is worth?
i dont understand the notion of using bad deals to justify what tua should get paid. could also easily reply to that point and say "what a huge mistake that turned out to be for the giants." i think there are certain good arguments for giving tua the bag, but this aint one of em. my 2 cents

To me, it starts with Tua. But I'd also love for the team to lock up some young talent, like Waddle, Phillips and maybe Holland.
In today's NFL, it's par for the course to lose talent. But I think Miami can do better with home grown guys.

That's usually how it works. You will have people in your finance dept working on multiple variations, but you're not having deep discussions with the other side all along. At most you have a preliminary discussion where you set a date when proposals will be exchanged. That date is usually either during the first FA period or after the draft. And that date often depends on the team's cap situation. If they need the money a restructure will free up for certain FA targets then they push for it sooner. If not then they usually prefer to focus on FA and the draft.
Usually, you don't even exchange proposals. The team draws up an offer then the agent reviews that and marks it up with what he agrees and doesn't agree with. The next meeting is where there are longer discussions on each provision. If the agent and the team have a good relationship then most of the provisions are known so you're only discussing a few parameters. My guess is that they know the general parameters so that's why everyone is confident it wil get done soon.

Tua not that guy. That narrative will continue until he can prove he can not only win without Tyreek Hill but also prove he can win that elusive playoff game us fans have been starving for

Kirk Cousins... 45m/year.
This is the absolute lowest that an established QB can go.
Kirk is older and has always been good, not great... and he had ZERO trouble finding a suitor, and signing a quick contract.
If you don't like what Tua is going to get, you are just denying reality.
Go yell at the clouds.

5/500 let’s go.
This place is going to erupt regardless once the final numbers are revealed. Popcorn is ready.

Its not a justification, its an indicator of the market. If a barely starter-level dude can get what he did, that shows you the value of a franchise QB in today's cap hit. Unless Tua feels very generous and feeling like giving a hometown discount to allow others to eat, he's getting at least 52M annual. Mahomes busted the market wide open, and it doesn't go down. Reigning passing yards leader? Ya...$$$$.
