Tua might’ve just been concussed again
- Thread starter POTUS
- Start date
Thought about throwing this in the meme thread
How someone with history lowers his head instead of slides after the 1st down is made is pretty frustrating.
Its also malpractice by the Dolphins’ front office to give him $167 million guaranteed, after what all has transpired. He could never play another down after tonight, and both him and the salary cap still get every cent of that.
These owners are stupid, the Deshawn Watson contract is many times worse.
It reminds me of Luke Kuechly. I remember watching when he got his last concussion and was crying as they took him off.
Worst trade since the Cowboys raped my Vikings in the Herchel Walker trade.
He certainly should while he still has his senses. Seeing that hit in slow motion it's a wonder his neck wasn't broken, then his head bouncing around both in the air and on the ground. Great player, but he's young and has a long life to live.
He needs to. Tell him to talk to Jim McMahon. And no offense to the islander, Jim was one of the toughest s o bs ever and has had major problems.
It's not all of the guaranteed money, but the dolphins have $50M of it insured.
maybe i should have rephrased that.....yes, it is 132 guaranteed.....but the dolphins took out an insurance policy for 50M of the 132 guaranteed.....good luck to that insurance company.
And he wasn't special for the Texans either. Above average but not worth anywhere close to what they gave up.
If I had a guaranteed 132 million I would walk away over a hang nail. Like a bad one tho. Ingrown for sure
And the full $167 million is guaranteed so long as he gets anyone to not clear him medically to continue playing football.
Spoiler alert - he won’t have a hard time finding someone with that opinion, and the Dolphins won’t want to deal with the PR nightmare of challenging it.
He should walk away. Living out the rest of your life knowing where you are is more important than playing football and he has guaranteed money to live a very good life after football.
Once the concussion was confirmed, Mike McDaniel told Tua, "go be the quarterback for your family". I'm guessing he's done.
I agree he is in a position to make a decision without the worry of money. However, I still would be shocked if he did. I just don’t think these guys think about things logically all the time.
I honestly have no opinion on if he should or shouldn’t. If I were him, I’d do whatever the doctors told me to do.
It shouldn't be in his hands at this point. If the NFL had any sense, they'd just rule him ineligible for life. That dude has so many brain injuries. He didn't get concussed, he was KTFO, again. If I was the Dolphins (and I'm a fan) I'd look for a "it's for his own good give us a break" loophole here.
He's toast, any prolonging the inevitable sets everyone up for billion dollar lawsuits.

Yes, if I was him, I'd get with my agent and the Dolphins and negotiate a settlement. Then retire. He has enough money to last him the rest of his life. No point in ruining his older age with concussion complications.
