NFL News OT: Dolphins Releasing Tua Tagovailoa

[maust]

It depends on how his contract was written. Davante Parker's contract [ugh] had a clause voiding any remaining guarantees if he retired.

The difference being Tua is being released. If he subsequently chose to retire that wouldn't change the fact the team decided their association had come to an end and therefore is on the hook for the contract's value.

 

[Bill Lee]

he will catch on somewhere...

he's not a bad QB

he's just not that good...

In other words, the perfect Jete!

The only question is, will he last longer than Rodgers did?

I've heard the odds of him signing are 28 to 3...

That signing might actually get me to watch a Falcons game this year.

They are 100% on the hook for the contract regardless, minus any offset

Thanks — so if he retires now that he’s been let go, he still gets paid?

Please retire bro! Your brain will thank you!! It’s just a freaking game. You are set for life. That’s generational wealth.

Why would Tua retire and take nothing when he can sit tight, get released and collect @$100M?
"Oh no Mr Ross, please keep your money"

Could he not just stay "released" and as an FA and collect money?

This is what his family SHOULD be telling him in an intervention. Sadly, he probably comes back, plays for Atlanta, and gets killed by game 7.

Yes

Tua was designated as a June 1st cut, btw..

This guy has been overrated his whole career… He was razor, thin close to being cut by Flores until his career was saved by Doofins bringing in Tyreek Hill… He is a Samoan Mac Jones….. have no idea what Atlanta is thinking… This guy is one more hit away from being in serious cognitive impairment…..Best of luck

The Dolphins are paying almost his entire salary! It's a smart move by the Falcons, sign him to a vet minimum, as insurance if Penix can't start the year, or gets hurt again, or sucks. Throw in Tua, one year salary at vet minimum. IF for some reason, he plays well, they can re-sign him, or let him walk and get the comp picks.

Can't really see a downside for Atlanta. He has a $99 mil dead money cap hit against the Dolphins!

Sign the beast.
