Tua: Here Is a Posting I Found Online Regarding His Finances...

[Charlie Rivers]

Not that it matters in the least, for Tua's health is of paramount importance, but here is something I discovered online in regards to his salary moving forward.

"If Tagovailoa is not able to pass concussion protocols for a third time in his NFL career, he could be forced to retire. If he retires, the Dolphins would have to pay out a huge chunk of his $212.4 million contract.

The contract, signed in July by Dolphins general manager Chris Grier, includes $167 million in guarantees. Tagovailoa has already made $43 million of that salary, and if he's medically forced into retirement, he has a right to collect the remaining $124 million.

However, if he's cleared to return and chooses to retire anyway, he would forfeit that guaranteed money. He and the team would have to come to a settlement in that case."

Tua Contract Deets - No Concussion Clauses

Grier, Ross, McDaniel. To agree to this, given his injury history, not smart. I think Grier and Ross primarily responsible, but McDaniel as well. This is too one sided in Tua's favor given the risk. And yes, they could have made him play out the 5th year option too, then none of this would...

When was the last time a player wasn’t medically cleared to play because of a concussion? The league seems to let the players decide. No way Tua walks away from that much money. Hopefully they can reach a settlement.

I think this thread was already started.

Yeah if I were a betting man, I think he comes back. I would bet that he gets put on IR and then comes back in 5 weeks (including the bye week). I would bet he doesn’t want to let the team down, and that he will go back to being careful again which is a limitation when the play breaks down. And I’ll bet he’ll tell his wife that if he has one more concussion that then he’ll retire. Just a guess, but I don’t see him walking away yet.

Why so?

I agree with this....
