This is not good. As Grier is a Tua guy, could Steve Ross now be a FORMER Tua guy? A while back, Ross joked about his FO trading for Rosen… on a national pod cast. One would think McD would be working forcefully to get it done.
These are all excellent.. if painful choices. Good work. If I was Tua, I’d hold out. He has cause. But I think C is the end result.
All Tua has to do is kick the NFL‘s ass this year and win some playoff games and Ross will pony up the money.
If Tua decides to sit out the year what are the Dolphins going to do?
He better not hold out this year. ****ing guy will make 25 mil this year... thats not chump change. I don't care what others are making right now. He's better off holding us hostage next year

They pretty much do/can. That’s the way Kirk Cousins forced himself out of Washington.
From cbs:
“Each time he is tagged, the tag value goes up. A player being tagged for the second consecutive season is paid 120% of his previous year's salary. A player tagged for a third year in a row receives 120% of the average of the five highest-paid players at his position, 144% of his previous year's salary, or the average of the five highest-paid position players in the league, whichever is highest. ”
As a theoretical, if the qb tag value is $50m next year, and we tag him again, he will get at least $60m. And if we tag him a third time, he will get at least $86.4m.
The question is: is Tua confident he can stay completely healthy long enough to force himself out?
Personally, I don’t believe a word coming out right now. It’s a dead news time in the NFL and people have to fill space.

Go 6-11. But I doubt he will set out this year, but next year on the tag who knows. That’s if they can even get down the 42 million to tag him.
