The Tua Tagovailoa Contract Situation | PFF 

I think some Miami fans just live in the moment . CAN YOU EVEN REMEMBER HAVING A TOP 10 QB. Absolutely nuts.

I always feel like theres so much nuisance missing from every Tua convo. By the end of the year, the oline was trash cause of the injuries and Tyreek and waddle were also injured and not getting open as fast (leg injuries). Mike Mcdaniel is a terrible situational play caller too (even if he is a good play caller in general). The problem with Tua was that he isn't able to play hero ball and overcome all that. And he looked terrible when those things were working against him. He also still makes like 2 to 3 horrible throws a game. Who knows if he'll be worth the money but I'm still willing to see him prove it (extend but leave an out early on)

Came off the bench and won national champion championship as a freshman is pretty clutch

I love how Steve describes Purdy’s financial situation as he’s eating ramen noodles every night. The guy is making close to $1M per year. I’d like to think if I were making that much I would be able to get by and eat whatever I want every night.

ALL you TUA TAGOVAILOA haters out there saying he is not this and that it's all his fault are HIPPOCRIT and jealousy forget that he is not a one man TEAM others are playing with him.

As a young adult, I’ve learned so much about professionalism through these gentlemen

I know the new hotness in the NFL is to have a QB on a rookie contract, but teams for DECADES have had veteran QBs lead their teams to success. Tua led the league in passing and has great chemistry with his coach/team. He isn't going anywhere soon.

I don't see us trading Tua, he deserves to be the starter this year, but if he's asking for a top 5 qb deal, then the organization should let him play out the 5th year. I get we've made strides and Tua's been good the last 2 years, but the truth is we're still a fringe wild card team that can't beat the Bills, who have dominated the division since Tua arrived in Miami. If the Dolphins are content with squeaking into the playoffs every year, then they should extend Tua now, if they want a higher ceiling, then we should hold off until we see a full 5 years of where Tua gets us. If we can't win our division, and we can't win a playoff game with him on a rookie deal, then what are you realistically expecting after he gets paid? It's tough because there's no clear and obvious replacement, but that brings me into my next point, if you lock up Tua, you're not actively looking to upgrade the position, and if you're not looking to upgrade the position, then you're just spinning the wheels in mud. I think it's fair for the team to want to see if there's a higher ceiling with Tua this year, there's always context into why we didn't win, it's never on 1 player, but when you decide to pay the qb, it changes the way you build the rest of your roster and if Tua can't elevate his play when things aren't ideal around him, then what's gonna happen in 2 years when Tyreek isn't here and we lose some core players that we can't afford? We can always tag him next year too, so it's not like we have to commit long term at this point. The organization has ways they can keep him without giving a top of the market qb deal.

If we let Wilkins walk so we have enough money to pay our QB and then we don't pay Tua, wtf are we doing? Tua is the guy. Doubters be damned because we had the number 1 offense in the league last year. Pay the man and let's go.

If they trade away Tua then forget about the Super Bowl.

Top passer in yards, tied for top in completion percentage while dead-last in QBR run rating because he was FORBIDDEN to run due to how polarizing he is.. give him the BAG. No one gave a crap about Pickett having 2 concussions in 2022 - but Tua was forced to sit out the rest of the year. This year, he will be back to the mobile QB he was his second year and at Alabama before the hip injury. If our O-Line has good center-play for the year, I expect him to lead the league in passer rating and QBR.... teams will not be able to ignore him as a scrambler - it will reduce the pass rush and keep the middle of the field more open. If the defense is at least top 15 - we should win the division and hope to see him in a playoff game that isn't in the top 5 coldest NFL games of all time - I would not have much hope for a Marino-led Dolphins team going up against the Chiefs at home in that kind of cold.

It seems like that move would give Miami off the hook than help out Washington more

The only QB currently in the league who's proven he can get paid and win it all is Mahomes. When you pay a QB like that, the quality of the talent around them gets worse. Which means that QB needs to be a guy who can elevate low-to-mid level talent to a championship level. Paying Hurts and Herbert like they're Mahomes was a mistake, which will be evident when their rosters disintegrate over the next few years to pay their bloated contracts. Allen and Lamar are perfect examples of a guys who are trying to drag a mid tier offensive roster to the Super Bowl by playing hero ball, and they can't quite do it. And the jury is out on Burrow because of injuries. Aside from Mahomes, we'll likely see teams with strong rosters and QBs on rookie contracts to be contending for the next few Super Bowls, because that's the most viable path if you don't have "the guy." Guys like Purdy, Stroud, Richardson, and maybe Love (he's a weird case because of his age and contract) and maybe an unexpected star rookie from an upcoming draft. And then mid tier guys with reasonable contracts and solid rosters like Goff, Baker, Stafford, etc will have a punchers chance. Teams that get desperate and give good QB's record breaking deals aren't going anywhere.

I love Tua, but my main concern is with almost any QB you pay top money for, it limits you. Hopefully Tua is good getting paid, but still leaving the team flexible because he wants to win. I don't think Tyreek gives a shit. He wants the most money. Waddle still needs to get paid too.

If Tua was on the Steelers last year, they EASILY make a superbowl run. The Dolphins will be idiots to let Tua walk away after leading the number 1 offense in the lead

I wouldn't extend him .And i don't believe those team in position to draft a top QB would ever trade their pick for tua..

What contract situation? you pay your franchise QB and get younger next season with all those picks

Talking about trading Tua is moot, it's not about to happen. So far as big game performance is concerned, the offensive line is the achilles heel.

Not Built For The Moment i See 🏟🏔🏈👐🏾😰🧔🏾🥋💩🛏👀👴🏻😏😁🤭🤣🤣🤣

Bald guy knows what he's talking about. It's a stupid hypothetical.

Tyreek never had stats like this with Patty Mo ? WHY?

Unless he’s willing to take a very, very, very, very low deal, like Russell Wilson (not that low) type deal, where he’s like the 25th highest paid guy or something, than Draft one.

All depends how you view him.

If Dolphin fans claim Tuna is better than Justin as they do religiously on X and this comment thread, why haven't the Dolphins extended him by now?

Tua should demand a trade. He was never appreciated in Miami. In his entire career, they tried to get a new QB. Every other QB in his class already got a new contract, yet he doesn't have one. I would holdout if I was Tua's agent.

Fins up 🩵🧡

Haven't even watched the whole video. But why would Washington pay Tua, if Miami, who on paper is better by miles than Washington, doesn't want to? And give up #2 overall in a relatively good QB class!? No that's not realistic whatsoever and Washington says no instantly. Washington says no for the exact reasons this person listed as why Miami would want pick #2.

I once saw someone say that they have to pay him because he’s their best QB since Marino. That’s a low bar, though. The question is whether you can win a Super Bowl with him, and I don’t think they can

If this is true about Tua, then why does Justin Herbert have a $52 Mill deal when he's under 500 in his 4 years as a starter? This video should be about Justin Herbert, not Tua. Tua is 32-19 and only lost to 1 team in his division in 4 years. He's NEVER LOST to the Patriots or the Jets. Why would Chris Grier do something stupid and foolish by not paying or trading away the QB he drafted? Chris Grier is a smart guy. He's no dummy. He's paying Tua.

My problem with Tua is he doesn’t win the big game. If he can just go out beat a contender I can easily say pay him. I don’t care about regular season padded stats. I care about our losing record against buffalo. Getting stomped by the ravens, giving away a game to the titans.

Dolphins always get rid of good players. If Tua leaves then we are starting all over again.

Just don't start calling the Seahawks coach Mike McDonald's

It's too much work for me to bother doing for free on my own time but I would be interested to see team spending via % of cap allocation to positional groups through pie charts over the last 15 years. "Average playoff teams since 2010 spend 11% +/-3% of cap on qb's, xx% on d-line, Xx% on o-line. Then we Compare the numbers between the average playoff team, the average NFL team, the average conference Champion team, We would definitely see that Matt Ryan's Super Bowl run is an outlier

Tua is holding this offense back, paying him is franchise suicide

the dolphins need to get a qb to replace him

Tua is not a Franchise Qb

Who the is this dude. “The hypothetical doesn’t work”. My nicca it’s a hypothetical, it’s designed to work by the sheer definition of the word lol. But with that aside yes Mia would be better off with a higher upside prospect then paying Tua. Simple

I would not be surprised if both Tua and McDaniel are not with the team after next year.

Miami needs a QB with clutch genes. As a fellow Islander- I love Tua. But hes just not HIM!

They did not beat any one with a winning record sooo

Im a 🐬 fan and Tua is not it. He folds in every big moment last 4 years.

Dolphin was the shit before Tua

Dolphins with cheap Nix > Dolphins with paid Tua

Trade Tua to the Steelers please

Nerds talking football....funny as hell!

No one is trading for Tua. Go Find 🐬

The egomaniac snitch Brian Flores destroyed his confidence. Funny thing is Flores couldn't win without Tua too.

Tua is trash

The Dolphins have a top 1 WR, not a top 10 QB. Without Tyreek Hill, Tua is to 15-20 QB. Stop overpaying QB's and handcuffing the team for years of mediocrity.

As a dolphins fan, Tua needs to go. He just isn’t a leader and would much rather have Drake Maye. Tua is not masculine or stoic, and always needs emotional support from McDaniel anytime he makes a mistake, that’s not how a man is suppose to act especially a QB.
