On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike and Ian are back with a new episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast. They talk about the report that Tua and his representation want in the neighborhood of $55 million per season. Is he worth it? Will Miami actually pay him that or something close to that? What should Miami do with Tua? They then talk about the Dolphins overhaul on defense that is coming and how many players will return next season from that side of the football after free agency and roster cuts. They talk about the Super Bowl and the fallout from that game and how it affects the Dolphins, plus Mike shares some Life Lessons his grandfather shared with him when he was a child regarding Love, Valentine’s Day, and Relationships. All this and more is on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

I’m good with Tua. But he’s not worth $55M. At least not yet. When stops the pick 6’s on outside routes and wins a big, or playoff game on his own. Then we’ll talk.
Agreed, not worth 55m right now. I’m just about ready to jump off the Tua bandwagon and Tua did show progress even with all the team and specifically
O-line injuries; however before you get paid like the other top quarterbacks in the league. You need to be able to beat those guys first!! Not all of them, start with beating the Bills first and barely beating the Cowboys with Zach doesn’t count. There in worth shape after choking at home during playoffs.
He is a good as a system QB. However he is not at the level of Allen, Mahomes, and Jackson when it comes to winning a game on the line.
Hell no! 55 million would be a waste.
Personally I feel NO QB is worth 55.
Lol, who’s making these decisions. Tua is a good enough QB to win you about 10gamea a year that’s it. I mean past performance is a great indicator and he’s in his 5th year!!
If Miami gives him this contract there’s no way I’m watching any more games. I’m just sick and tired of all the losing. Here’s my prediction for next year Miami will finish 10 and 6 and then lose in the first round.
Let’s just all say it collectively…Tua is not worth $55M per year. Nope. His December and playoff flop alone was extremely disappointing and took away a lot of the shine of his regular season. While the market value of QB’s is out of this world, that is not the Dolphins fault by any means. IMO they should do one of two things. Either let the year play out on Tua’s $23M team option, see if he can perform at the same or better level of ’23, and stay healthy again, or offer him something like $40M x 5 years = $200M. It can be structured in many ways, with bonuses, etc. While this is even an outrageous figure, it is what it is in today’s NFL. If Tua turns that down, then he can walk, try and find a better deal that Miami can still match if they choose to do so. A much bigger contract than that impacts too much of the rest of the roster. There will be purges and dumps of star players, significantly changing the roster. While it is difficult to replace a QB, imagine trying to replace ten to a dozen very good players in the fierce and highly competitive AFC landscape ? Phins will lose totally the ability to compete.
definitely not worth 55 mil… 1 don’t see any current qb worth that. mahomes 45 mil yr, burrow 55 mil yr, herbert 53 mil. yr, jackson 52 mil yr, allen around 47 mil yr, hurst 51 mil yr, wilson 49 mil yr, murray 47 ish mil yr, watson 42 ish mil yr, dak,stafford, jones all around 40 mil yr. thats your top 10 paid qb where does tua rank? is he worth more then everyone on this list except mahomes and burrows thonk not
There is no way Tua is worth $55M; or even close to it. With no mobility and limited arm strength, Tua is a 2nd tier QB. He is also injury prone and curls up at the 1st sign of trouble. A good number of QB’s could have put up Tua’s #’s with Hill, Waddle and Mostert. Letting Tua play out this year on a 5th year option is reasonable however. But the backup QB slot should be addressed; White and Thompson are not capable of being a realistic fall back option.
