The qb market price has been set. How the guaranteed money is distributed is all that matters. Anyone who thinks any different are delusional.

Every starting QB makes the same thing? It’s set in stone like the rookie pay scale? Did not know that.

I am really starting to feel sorry for Tua after reading some of these posts. I forgot how bad we are handicapping him. Poor thing, we only signed a new center and used our 2nd round pick on a OT. Then to compound matters he only has Tyreek Hill, WADDLE, OBJ and Jonnu Smith to throw too while the backfield is a joke with Mostert, Achane and Wright. How do we keep setting Tua up to fail? I mean no QB in the league would want to be surrounded by this ****. Oh I forgot the idiot coach who’s slow to get the play in and the plays he does call on time lack imagination.

If only Tua had a better surrounding cast, he would really be something I tell ya. The Patriots or Steelers deserve him, they would do their darnedest to help him. If he was with one of those teams he would have never lost to the Bills in 2020 with the playoffs on the line, never lost to the Titans in 2021 with the playoffs on the line, never have lost to SF, LA and Buffalo in 2022 with the division on the line, never lost to almost every playoff team he faced in 2023 as well as a miserable winless on the road Titans team at home on Monday Night Football, again with the division on the line. They would have gotten him a guard damnit and well, you would have seen the difference!

Love you Gryph but common man, if Tua requires near perfection around him we have a problem. You think Grier is stupid but most of the QB’s in the league would kill for this set up.

I think there a a couple different ways to look at it.

I think McDs philosophy is "Tua friendly" and if I were him, I wouldn't take it for granted.

How many other teams have amassed the skill position speed and firepower?

On the other hand, his agent's job is to squeeze the best deal possible out of the team.

Both sides have some leverage here.

From a generational wealth perspective, Tua would be a moron to go into the season without substantial future guaranteed $. That would be a very high risk game to play.

From the teams perspective, what's the alternative? Go back to the draft and hope for the best? If that happens we're looking at another purge and rebuild situation, likely taking another 3 or 4 years with no guarantees of success. It would also likely mean the end of Grier and McD with the organization.

With that in mind, there's ample reason to believe they will find a deal upon which both sides can agree.

I mean... just this. Everyone seems to over complicate things over here lately... its as simple as mach just said here...

Its going to get done, there's really no other way.

Does it matter? Some here wouldn't sign Tua for a bag of doritos because they don't think he is the one. Thats fine. Realistically he will get big contract just like Lawrence. I'm fine with that because that's how its going to play out no matter what I think.

At this point…best Grier can do is structure something that can get the Dolphins out of the contract as quickly as possible…in case Tua continues to fail in big games.

Doesn’t matter what they agree with.

For example, if Tua instructed his agency to get the most money they can period, then I have a problem with that.

Tua can dictate to his agent to work with the team in a manner that is fair

Based on the contact Lawrence just signed, Tua should tell his agent that a fair contact is anything that will make him higher paid than Lawrence since he is better than Lawrence.

As long as the Dolphins front office is willing to agree to pay Tua more than the Jags paid Lawrence, I see no problem with Tua and his agent coming to terms on a new contract. I think $56 million a year would be a very fair contract at this time.

In that case, every contract for Dolphin players should be structured the same way. Because the entire team has failed in big games.

Please someone please help me with the context I *must* be missing.

I didn’t know Lawrence was THIS below average.

I was not to surprised, every time I watched Fabio he was just a taller more athletic Mac-n- cheese.
