Oh I don't think so, but the Dolphins are on the horns of a dilemma, if they don't keep him, who do they turn too? Just look at how other teams struggle at finding a franchise QB. Like it or not I think they're stuck with him

They were 11-6 in the regular season and only one other AFC team had a better record. I suspect that Miami's management believes they have more pressing issues than finding a better QB.
Everybody wants a Brady or a Mahomes, but mostly we're going to have to make do with less than that magic level

To be sure, they seem to be all in on Tua and they have other needs. However there's enough concern regarding his durability.
He's kinda close though... minus the injuries... and some of the talent...
Injuries could ultimately be his problem. I remember reading somewhere that he'd even considering giving up his pro career after those 2022 injuries
If he incurs more concussions, then he ought too, you really can't mess with your brain
It's going to create locker room issues.

The transaction I don't understand is the Buffalo/KC trade at the end of the first round. Buffalo sent the 28 pick to KC who picked up a very good receiver (Worthy). Buffalo had already lost their top 2 receivers and just allowed their main competition to grab another weapon.
Understand this less than the Penix pick.
'Grateful' Kelce wasn't going to hold out for deal
Travis Kelce said on his "New Heights" podcast that he wasn't going to hold out for a raise so he's "grateful" to the Chiefs for wanting to sign him to a new deal.

"I'm not a guy that sits out," Kelce said on the "New Heights" podcast with his brother, Jason. "I'm not a guy that holds out. I'm a guy that loves coming into the building, and the Chiefs know that. So, for them to want to get this done for me knowing how much blood, sweat and tears that I put into this thing, I'm extremely grateful."
Dude is banging a billionaire - of course he's not going to care about getting more!
(I actually think he's being genuine here, but the above thought crossed my mind)
maybe, maybe not
If Cousins does a Russell Wilson at Denver performance, then it might, but I suspect Cousins has at least a couple of good years left before he starts to age out.
As for Penix, so far I haven't seen anybody suggest he's going to do anything other than be in development for a while, and that's potentially going to be to his advantage.

Yeah, when he flew by private jet to see Taylor in Australia, he sure wasn't using his own money.
The Bills should have traded up to get Brian Thomas Jr from LSU. Though KC getting Worthy isn't a super huge concern because while he's fast, at 165 pounds, is he an every down receiver? And if he bulks up, will he lose speed? The Bills need size, like the 6-3 Keon Coleman they drafted, a guy who can win contested catches.
OBJ to the Dolphins... Can't see him being more than just depth on that offense with the weapons they have already. They are going to need some help on the defensive side of the ball.
He lost a step out two. Will he create drama if he doesn’t get the ball enough?
I worry about the locker room if he becomes disgruntled.
That was my thought too… if you look at how important KC’s defence was in winning last year it’s clear that even with average receivers and just a few weapons, a great defence can get you a SB win.
But there’s a minimum bar the defence needs to meet to be a top side, and I don’t think Miami was there last year. They were flashy but a bit lightweight.
Lions just signed Goff to a 4-year $212/170M extension.
He's good, but not sure he is $53M/yr good.
He's good, but not sure he is $53M/yr good.
The state of QBing in the NFL has dropped so much, even slightly above average guys are making bank now.
Bring back the old school ground and pound. Bring back only throwing when your wrecking ball RB needed a breather.😁 Gawd, I miss the Luv Ya Blue era.🤠
Eh
It was fun, but it never won them anything.
Offenses these days are more fun to watch imho.
I would love to see a modern day "O" with an Earl Campbell/Bo Jackson type running back though...
And, no, Marshawn Lynch doesn't count.
Keep in mind that the salary cap went up significantly this season and will continue to do so. As long as the cap continues to increase you will see these crazy QB salaries continue to increase as well. Teams know they can't win without a good QB and a lot of teams are desperate for one.... So if the current team doesn't pay up, another team certainly will.
