Thursday Night football: Buffalo Bills vs Miami Dolphins game thread

[calh45]

Tua's not leaving that money on the table, regardless of how bad his concussion history is. He has $89 million guaranteed the next two seasons, which is the rest of his guaranteed money. No way he retires.

Dolphins also can't move him because he has an $83 million dead cap hit next year.

There's zero chance the NFL is letting him die on the field. That's where we're heading. That was a normal ass tackle. Just regular lowering your head shyt. They already changed a rule because the Dolphins trotted his concussed ass out there too early before. Goodell is definitely having a meeting with Ross when the cameras ain't on the both of them.

Tua is sitting down for 4 weeks. Maybe more IF he doesn't retire.

If he keeps having concussions he might not have a choice.

Andrew Luck retired and Colts looked out and let him keep all of his signing bonus when they could have got some of it.

A couple of more injuries like tonight and it’s probably a wrap for Tua.

Would you walk away from $89 million in his situation?

Probably not. 26 years old, no kids, franchise QB etc

From his POV, he's not going to. When you get older, have a family, you process life differently. We'll see tho. I feel like this is a tragic 30 for 30 in the making tho

i know thompson is a backup, but he's absolutely trash. one throw into triple coverage, the 4th & 2 into double coverage.

trash backups have an easy job, they just pay these mfs to do absolutely nothing

My expectations were lower this year given all the experience we lost but spanking these b*stards in Miami is always a good time

What happens when an NFL player retires under contract? Does he still get paid?

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa picked up another concussion against the Bills, raising questions about his NFL future.

Come on man, do two minutes of research.. He gets that guarantee money no matter what.

He doesn't get paid if he doesn't play.

I think Tua did that shyt on purpose cuz he was having a trash game. Needed something to take the heat off him, so went the concussion route
