He'll get his due, I would bet on it. If he settles for anything under Trevor I would fall on the floor. If anyone doesn't think he is going to set the market I want what they're smoking.
Tua's Next. Be prepared.

I was trying to justify why the Jags extended Lawrence. I am a big Tua supporter.
He’d get two years of big money and STILL get a big contract.
The Dolphins would be the only ones screwed because they have to cut a bunch of players to afford those tags. Just like Kirk Cousins in Washington and then Minnesota.
Not to mention the two years of constant distractions that this situation would potentially cause.
If you tag him for $55M next year, you need to create a lot of cap space for that kid of hit. Then you’d have to give him a 20% raise in 2026.
Avoiding that type of situation is an absolute necessity for a cap strapped team.
What you’re suggesting is basically a fully guaranteed two year for about $120M. Which will likely be even more once Mahomes contract is re-done, like Clark Hunt said they’ll have to do soon.

He'd be worth it then tho right? He'd have proved he's worth the $ if he helps miami win a playoff game or more importantly if he takes miami in a deep playoff run. One issue is he might be upset about it that even if miami is willing to pay him the money he wants, he might ask for a trade to another team so miami could lose Tua playing this game

Trevor Lawrence's oline was also junk and he was throwing to a semi washed ridley and Evan Ingram. He was getting back in rhythm last year until his favorite target got hurt. I hope I'm wrong but I think lawrence is a better qb than Tua.
Both very good, Trevor has the prototypical build

lawrence is like herbert. They both have the prototypical build and the media and fans fawn over them as a result.
At this moment, Lawrence may be the most overrated QB in the NFL. Imo, he's still living off the hype he had coming out because his performance has been pedestrian to this point.

You sound like a petulant homer, scro. If Lawrence is the most overrated QB, what does that make Tua lol?
Trevor is 2 years younger, bigger, stronger, more mobile and durable. He might not be as accurate as Tua but to say he's overrated and Tua isn't is laughable.

like I’ve been saying if Tua is on board with his agent asking for that then he can **** off, and I say that because there is something wrong with you if you don’t want to work with us on a fair deal

Instead of the “market”, the more appropriate phrase is “the revenue is the revenue” imo.
That’s what contracts are negotiated on, not whether Tua is better than Mahomes, or everyone would be paid below him.
As long as fans are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for things like YouTube TV, etc to watch QBs like Goff, Tua, and Lawrence then they are $50+M QBs.

Yes it absolutely is given T-Law’s performance in the league. But it’s also not because the league is how it is with each new contract leap frogging the previous.
Highest paid will never mean best. Hell, Lawrence is maybe a top 15 QB right now. Yet he’s the highest paid.
nah, he's really good as is Tua
You're coming around.
