Tom… don’t act like those concussions weren’t scary

If Tua is smart he takes a 3yr around 120-130 million and demands they invest in the O-Line then he’ll still be under 30 the cap will go up again and get the max on his next contract.

correct me if Im wrong - but tagging Tua for 2 straight years absolutely eats 30%+ of the cap. He would be eligible for average of top 5 players at the position and you get no relief of the fake years at the end of the long term contract other teams have given their QB - not to mention having him play on his 5th year eats 23+ mil this year also - so how exactly is this so called GM planning to manage that situation ? its easy to create scenarios when you don't deal in facts - problem for the dolphins is tagging him is actually a HUGE problem from a cap perspective - signing him is far less of a problem and manageable - so in my opinion if they don't get a deal done their intention will be to pay someone else the following year OR pay tua way more because he has earned it - I can't argue with that logic, but its quite a game of chicken and if Tua does marginally better than last year - meaning pro bowl and great numbers but still doesn't win the "big games" then what ? now you are stuck paying him more than 55 full cap hit OR you are looking elsewhere and who exactly is going to be better? Is it any wonder this deal is taking a while ? this is the most vexing situation in the NFL full stop.

Fins are now Bama Circa 2017-19 STACKED DEEP in talent

If they don’t sign him they are making a huge mistake. Price goes up … team gets pissed … Tua balls out, draws his line, and walks like Wilkins.

Every team is injured at the end of the year, hell the bills had the entire starting defense out. Injuries are used as a crutch in the this league

4 years/$200 mill with injury protection is fair.

Hopefully McDonald's has learned something in San Francisco if your QB isn't good enough you move on because Miami isn't winning anything with Tua behind center

All depends on they structure his contract

Amen. He’s Tua little. Tua late. He’s not worth $35million a year.

This is just opinion-based only. I believe TUA hasn't had a contract signed yet cuz he wants top dog money and he believes he deserves it. Usually paying QBs on their second contract big money is for the future. Not what you did in the past. Herbert got a contract, burrows got a contract, Allen got a contract. these are guys that the franchises says you are out quarterbacks for the future not what you did yesterday.

The plan from the get-go was to get the fastest receivers and running backs to fit this scheme. Which they did. Especially this upcoming year he has a paratha of talent around him. If Patrick Mahones had Miami's weapons KC would average 50 points a game. That there are a handful of QBs that can run this offensive system to perfection & TUA is one of them. I'm talking about running this particular scheme. When they signed Jonnua Smith they instantly have a triangle threat because they finally have the right type of tight end that fits the system. I would love to resign C Williams. ONLY if he's healthy. It would be huge to resign him. Wow! Before the injury he was having a pro bowl season..But again Miami always wins on paper in June and July. Position wise Miami is loaded. Really loaded!! Olympic track team

It's crazy to see these comments about a QB that has gotten better every yr. Name me a dolphin QB from the 2010s until now, which has played better than Tua?

Tua signed a contract that pays him 24 million dollars in 2024. Done Deal. Let’s Go.

Tua will sign his contract this season. Tua has done a whole lot more with the Dolphins than any other QB1 has that has signed a contract. Prime example is Tua raised their talent level in 2020-2021 and in 2021-2022 seasons. The WRs that Miami had there at the time aren't in the NFL anymore other than Gesicki (who had the most receiving yards in his career with Tua) that's without anyone Tua DID ELEVATE THEIR WRs level and there's fans and media and people in general that WONT ADMIT THAT TUA ELEVATED THEIR LEVEL and Waddle who has set the franchise record with (3) 1000 yard seasons because of Tua!!! Not to mention in those 2 seasons the Miami Dolphins didn't have a OC that knew how to utilize these WRs and the QB1 how they should've and didn't have the coaching staff there either and now in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons HC McDaniel brings in the COACHING STAFF that KNOWS how to work with EVERYONE and Tua's numbers show it!!! Tua is the QB1 and McDaniel has even said as well as QB Coach Bevell (who was Farve and Russell's QB Coach as well) Tua is the smartest QB1 that I've ever worked with and when they said that people take it mildly when they shouldn't because these type QB1s DON'T GROW ON TREES!!! Tua will be signed sooner rather than later because the Dolphins Organization know who they have here in Tua as a player and off the field person as a whole as well!!! Not signing him is dumbest move yet because then he's not flexible to move other players contracts around!!! Seriously let's think about this whole thing out first!! SMH!! Tua is a far better QB1 than anyone that has been signed so far there isn't any question there!! Tua is a TOP 5 QB1 NO QUESTION AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT TUA LIKE HE'S A QUESTION MARK!!! TUA HAS ELEVATED TYREEK!! TYREEK NEVER HAD 1700 yds and then have 1799 yds the very next season and Waddle missed games last season and still had over 1000 yds receiving. THE MEDIA AND FANS AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL NEED TO STOP IT WITH TUA BECAUSE TUA IS THE REAL DEAL!!! HE'S DONE IT WITH THE WORST OLINE IN THE ENTIRE NFL FOR HIS ENTIRE CAREER HERES THE WIN RATE 31st, 32nd,25th,31st NOT EVEN CLOSE TO AVERAGE AND NOT TO MENTION THE INTERIOR OLINE WAS DOWN TO THEIR 3rd string INTERIOR OLINE in 2023-2024 last 3 games Bills, Ravens, Cheifs!!! Keep that in mind as well. Fins Up

Teams do not want to pay ahead and then pay ahead AGAIN later before the contract is up. If you believe in yourself you will take a contact at your current rate and renegotiate later. None of these contracts are set in stone. There's no reason for the dolphins not to pick up his five year option and kick this can 10 months down the road unless Tua sits or walks.

Tua is OUR guy..sign him!!!!

Tua just does not win big Games, forget cold weather games. As a Dolphins fan I cringe when we go up against good teams, we lose, against bad teams we win. Then the injury aspect. Please make Tua prove he can win big games this year. Then pay him.

They can’t let Tua play it out, because they don’t have the salary cap to do it.

I think he’s outplaying his contract. It’s a business but he’s worth more than 24 mil. Especially to the Dolphins. So it should be 50+. I’m sure his agents are pushing for 56 or more avg, but I think 55 is no insult.

Not a fan of any teams, although I do follow the NFL. With the Tua situation, the Dolphins would be making a crucial mistake extending a contract. Let him prove it this year, if he doesn’t do anything let him walk. His stats are relatively high against teams under 500. I don’t care what you can do in September and October. Football in November and December is where it counts. When the elements are uncomfortable in rain and severe cold weather is where you prove yourself. The guy can’t find his identity, his hairstyle changes every year and his weight fluctuates. Tua will be playing in the UFL in the future. If not a backup somewhere or on a practice squad, this is his future.

Must be TanneBUM

Pay Tua let's get it done and move forward 🐬🆙

We actually don’t have those images in her head

Tua needs to show many things in my mind before he gets that bag. One, prove he can stay healthy for more than just one year in your career. Two, prove you can beat teams above .500. Three, prove you can win late in the season when it counts. Four, prove you can step up and win the big games, like when the conference and division were on the line. Five, prove you can play and win in cold weather. 0-6 in the coldest games he has played in is not gonna get you wins late in the season nor in the playoffs. Let him play his fifth year and prove he can improve in these important stats.

The Fins will pay Tua

If I were Tua there’s no way I’d play a snap this season w/o a new contract, it’s just too big of a risk for him (think Baker Mayfield). Now I don’t know how much he’s asking for, but I guarantee it’s only gonna get more & more expensive the longer they wait.

Let’s remember highest paid or one of them does not get you a superbowl per facts

miami has a 3 yr window right now to win before a rebuild is needed so if Tua isn't that guy then who because last i checked Tom is not coming out of retirement to play for miami so it's either Tua or we are tanking for a QB next yr, so stop the games pay Tua put in some injury clauses and let go!!

Tua is not worth a max contract. I am a diehard dolphins fan, and I do not want to pay this guy...

2 doctors suggested to Tua he should retire. His family talked him into staying

There is no one available better than Tua- does Watson. Trevor, and others deserve what they got- Tua wants what the market says he is worth-

The Phins will have to pay some one if not Tua then who.

He's going to set the market

It’s all about the guarantee money. Everything else is BS. Give him a 4yr 200m fully guaranteed and call it a day.

If Trevor got 55ML Tua should at least get 50ML If I’m tua I won’t be greedy because if he plays without a contract in gets more head injuries he’s loosing out millions if I’m tua im 26 I’ll take a 45ML 4 year 180ML 130ML guaranteed play great ball 🏈 hit the open market at 30 in his prime in get the bigger bag but right now don’t be greedy secure the bag 💼 first

Just pay him, you're going to anyway, who else you getting? Give him a decent O line and he'll set NFL records every year. Stop this nonsense, we need to get ready for the season..

Pay Tua the bag 💰💰💰

I will no pay him, and draft another QB,Tua is good but not his help

without Tua,,, the dolphins become irrelevant as they have ever been as a football team..

If you're not going to pay Tua because of the "economics" then you're saying the qb average salary will go down? Whoever this gm they're getting info from sounds like an idiot

Tua throws way to many int's and has way too many fumbles to be worth more than 25 a year. He had 27 int's and fumbles last year. He is the sole reason we lost the East. 18 td passes in the first 8 games and only 11 td passes the last 9 games is why we lost the East. he needed 40 td passes last year not a crappy 29.

NFL insider who says the same thing in every segment. Job if you can get it.

Tua Turndaballover 😅

No contract. Unhappy quarterback. Bye bye season.

That’s the worst attempt of a mustache I’ve ever seen. Should be fired for it.

Real easy for an UNNAMED GM….with absolutely zero skin in the game, to say not to pay him. These GM’s are in a game of competitive sports, why in the world would he wish another team success in any respect. Especially when he is UNNAMED!! How does someone become rich and famous as a professional tattle tale, always quoting unnamed sources.

Tua sucks. 5th year option. Let him walk no other team is going to sign him or trade for him.

This Guy Tom is talking And saying NOTHING Stop wasting our lives

Tyreek with mahomes, tyreek is pretty good. Tua with tyreek. Tyreek is the greatest wr on the planet . Tua is averave in a good situation.. how the hell can someone with half a brain actually beileve this.. he is an elite qb and thats a fact

As a Bills fan, I sure hope the Lolphins give Tua his bag!!! 🎉😂
