2024 NFL Regular Season: g-bebe’s Lamar attempts to slay Dom’s Josh for title of mafia boss
You know, since the Super Bowl periodically i will watch the CBS Sinatra intro cuz it was ****ing magnificent. Halfway t
Carolina's entire team is in the bottom 1 of the NFL.
Staley would find a way to lose this game. I highly doubt Harbaugh does.
I was actually contemplating whether Jaycee Horn was refusing to sign an extension because they’re so bad. You’d think it would be a huge risk to turn down giant $$ given he’ll have to get through his 5yo and then they could franchise him but if I was a top player at my position and starting down years more of futility I’d find it really hard to stay
Maybe he can demand a trade?

As far as I've heard, there haven't been any serious discussions from either side. He may be apprehensive about agreeing to play long-term for a franchise run by Tepper. We're apprehensive about his injury history. He didn't exactly play well last week. But nobody did.

yep, I didn't watch a second of your game last week but pff didn't like his game.
IDK, you'd think he'd get a 1 + something else from someone and maybe that would be enough for Morgan if he's being given the long term to re-build the team
almost the biggest failure of the previous regimes is that this truly terrible team with a rookie QB and basically zero stars only has $5m in cap space despite having 1 player over $10m
(sorry heels)
I like Dolphins tonight to cover, if I was actually betting it. I watched most of Cards-Bills (I was on BUF in Survivor) and the numbers don't support the eye test, but I thought Arizona moved the ball okay for essentially having zero MHJ involvement. I think the big hangup is Miami offense will be too much for Buffalo D to handle. Still think Buffalo is a solid team.
L
i was gonna say i liked the bills to cover, then again i thought the game was in buffalo. play bad, get there
I can absolutely see the dolphins trading for Lance tomorrow
sorry tua
dolphins fans the rest of the season can look forward to doing this:
Last NFL holdout is funny. Reddick vs Jets
“They have not talked since the end of March,” Schultz said on “Speak.” “That is six months of no communication whatsoever.”
Schultz said the Jets won’t make Reddick an offer until he reports to their facility, while Reddick has maintained that he won’t show up until the team makes what he considers a fair offer.
lol
Think Reddick is right, they knew he wanted a new deal before the trade. He is simply asking for a fair offer. Make...an offer.. Why does he have to be there?
I had zero doubt I was going to be right about Tua and that contract, just wish it didn't go down like this.
I was just reading this actually. I'm going to ignore that we're 2 weeks into this year.
2024: $1.25 fully guaranteed
2025: $25M fully guaranteed
2026: $39M guaranteed for injury
2027: $31M guaranteed for injury
So if he just "Ben Simmons's" it and comes back but is never cleared to play because his brain is scrambled and he's still seeing bright lights and vivid colors, the Dolphins are on the hook for a shitload of money for however long that takes.
If he opts to retire tomorrow, they can claw that Signing bonus ($42M) and remaining guaranteed money back and it WILL NOT affect their salary cap, assuming all parties agree and/or Tua loses in almost certain arbitration to follow. If they somehow just say "Nah, you keep the money because we're nice people" (lol), MIA is going to take a ~$90M cap hit.

If it's not ruled as injury-related, Miami would owe Tagovailoa about $90 million on top of the $42 million already paid out.
is that part wrong? they would still owe him 90 million on top of the signing bonus??????

Yes...probably.
"Guaranteed for injury" applies if the player is either 1) under contract but can't play because of injury (duh) or 2) the injury is so severe that the team can't clear him and has to cut him.
What we're talking about is Tua retiring. For obvious reasons, a guy like Mahomes can't sign a contract for 10 years/800 million with injuries guarantees, get a hang nail, and say "Welp, thanks for the bag, I'm out". The team would clear him, it would go to arbitration, and he'd lose.
Ignoring that everyone points to Tua being stubborn and not retiring, it would take either a bunch of doctors collectively saying he's unable to play anymore or specific language in Tua's contract allowing him to retire if he got another C-word. Given his history, maybe his agent got it in there, who knows.
Or, in a clearer way from someone smarter than I am

ya i'm thinking about where if he's ruled fine to play and he retires anyway and it's ruled not an injury retirement, the sportrac tweet seems more accurate than that article meaning no 90 mill on top of the signing bonus. Still seems like an easy angle shoot to sign a new contract with a hefty signing bonus and then retire soon thereafter after any minor injury
how is it an 'angle shoot' when MIA's FO had total information?

There's not really an easy way to "angle shoot" here.
If you retire, the team can claw back your signing bonus, which then no longer counts against the cap, and obviously you don't get future guaranteed salary as you aren't playing.
And again, you can't just "retire due to a minor injury". You have to be medically retired from football, which requires several doctors to say that you can't play. Tua is going to be cleared. He's going to be able to play. He'll have to make a decision if his present is worth his future, but it's highly unlikely that doctors are going to find that he's not able to play in the here and now.
The NFL approved the use of the Guardian Caps in regular season games this year. I found where a few players wore them in pre-season, but evidently nobody wants to be the 1st one to wear it during a regular season game and be seen as a pussy by the rest of the league.
If there was ever a poster child for promoting the use of Guardian Caps, it would be Tua.
Granted, I think they look goofy. But if enough players started wearing them, after a while it would just be the new normal.

Colts TE Kylen Granson has worn one in the regular season:
“At one point people thought seatbelts were f—ing stupid,” Granson told The Athletic on Thursday. “Why wouldn’t I (wear it)? Just because it looks silly? I feel like health and safety is more important than aesthetics.”
