The better question is whether or not TUA is looking to moving on from football! He certainly should be. The insurance payout plus earnings to date will be plenty to keep him going. Quote
Niagara Dude Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 14 hours ago, Success said: The division looks a LOT easier if Tua is on another team, the Jets are still trying to figure out their situation, and Mac Jones is still floating passes for the Pats. How is that? If the Jets get Rogers and Dolphins get Jackson this would be a very tough division. Again Beane needs to start hitting on picks like the chiefs did last season. Stop wasting picks on high motor goof boys and start drafting guys with size for lines and elite speed at skilled positions . You cannot teach size and speed, his 3rd rounder last season is a typical Sean pick, a high motor good guy who did nothing for the team last season. Quote

The Dols have neither the cap room nor the draft picks to get either Rodgers or Jackson. As for the Jets, no QB wants to play for them and both will cost a lot in terms on money and compensation. Carr at least didn't cost picks and was looking (at the time) for "just" $35M and not on a fully guaranteed contract, but it doesn't appear that he wants to play for them.

Dolphins don't have much in the way of draft capital (lost their 1st due to tampering LOL) and not a lot of cap space. I'd expect them to ride it out this year and evaluate Tua. If he can't stay healthy this year they 100% need to move on. Maybe they could do a Tua + for Lamar trade. That's about the only path I see for no Tua in Miami next year. Not just 3 regular concussions either, these seem to be the more severe. I will never get that image out of my head when his fingers froze. Quote

They would need to clear cap space, not much different then what the Bills did last season to sign Miller and a bunch of other free agents Quote

jethro_tull Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Tag is damaged goods after the Dolphins forked him over by letting him get two back to back concussions and then a third in the same season. If I were he I would look at legal actions. Not sure if it makes that much difference because the Bills had a tough time beating Skylar Thompson. Quote

1st&ten Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 I'm not worried about any of these QB's coming into the AFC east---all we need to do is improve our offensive line & have an above average defense & will be fine. Quote

The Dolphins are a ruthless organization. They clearly do not have the best interest of their players in mind. I smell a huge lawsuit coming up if they get rid of him. May be coming anyway. Quote
HOUSE Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Dolphin fans are funny. They are looking at specially designed helmets, Doctors in Finland dealing with concussions, special rubberized turf, changes in rules like flag football. It never stops Quote
Buddo Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Tua is simply too fragile as regards concussions. There's no way he makes it through a full NFL season without getting another one. All he did for the first one, was fall over backwards after a small push from Milano, and hit his head on the turf. To get him out of the game, all that has to be done, is to knock him on his arse a couple of times, going nowhere near his head. He really should be seriously considering his future, and it should be away from playing in the NFL. It's pretty sad really, but reality is often so. 1 Quote

Don Otreply Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Management/Owner has been try to rid themselves of Tua for a couple of seasons now, this is not news…, Quote
Airseven Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 They know they’re stability at QB away from becoming division favorite. Unless Jets get a capable QB vet too. Both rosters are missing one player to make a playoff run. Quote
