Tua Contract Negotiations Start

[GatorFin73]

I will be here regardless of the outcome.

Question, what is your alternative solution? Let him play out his contract and hope to resign him if he wins a Superbowl next year.

Could be my sorry old eyes and questionable long term memory, but this topic does seem to lend itself to summoning the naysayers who are quick to criticize but offer no viable alternatives.

What's your plan if you were GM?

I just want the FO to push for as team friendly a deal as possible which I’m sure they are. The more team friendly the more cap we have for the rest of the team which should be of critical interest to everyone here. I just don’t want the, what did Burrow and Herbert get, ok let’s match that plus a little more “because that’s market”. Market is subjective as all these QB’s are not identical, market for Tua will be what they end up agreeing to.

Dolphins have some leverage since Tua is still under contract for another year, and an affordable year at that. He is highly incented to do a deal now for the guarantees and moving a lot of his potential injury risk over to the team and off himself. All I’m saying is use your leverage and get as good a deal as possible for the team, whether that’s the dollar amount, guarantees, injury out or what have you. Again I’m sure they are doing this, hopefully it’s a deal we can all be pleased with, open up some more cap this year, get a couple more FA’s and get ready to kick ass in ‘24.

I am bracing for the sticker shock.

Tua is a very good QB but he is going to get paid like a great one.

That is just how the NFL works with QB's now but I am hoping Miami get get him to accept a reasonable deal.

I have a feeling from all that is available to getting to know Tua it’s going to be a team friendly deal jmo

I'm not your son. Dont cross that line.

Yet you’re in here catching strays. What’s has Tua proved yet my man that leads you to believe that he deserves a Mahomes type deal or whatever the hell Grier is about to give him

I'm just responding to your disrespect. Keep going. Its all good.

 

[BROGS]

I'm sure we are all waiting on pins and needles for more of your informative ways to improve QB .

 

[BROGS]

Who might that be?

 

[phinfan33]

Whatever he signs, I hope he leaves money on the table for his friends/teammates who're coming up on contract decisions also.

I already said time to tank for the next guy. Whether Grier and especially Ross has the stones to do that again is another story

 

[TrogdorTheBurninator]

Tank for the next QB. Griers legacy is tied to Tua’s success however so no surprise he will receiving the extension

Sure, and we could be waiting another 20 years to get another QB that's even as good as Tua.

Great idea! /s

 

[EasyRider]

We are obviously gonna grossly over pay him but we have no other choices at this point especially with this roster.
I like Tua a lot but I just don’t think he’s gonna be a great one

 

[Dogbone34]

Tua will be the highest paid player...

 

[TrogdorTheBurninator]

Let's speculate on how long it takes to sign this extension. I'm going with no later than Junes 21st.

Don't bother. He thinks NFL Qb just grow on trees.

Hard to take someone like that seriously

Just be here when Phins are reduced to winning 7-9 games again like the old days. Old habits die hard with the team and with the fanbase clearly
