Jesus, over the last few years, the sports media has been so bi-polar on this guy:

https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/01/14/dolphins-tua-tagovailoa-move-on

He's underrated.....he's limited.....he's a winner.....now move on from him? So the shit they were saying about him 3 years ago is accurate now? Or the next nice game he has next year and he'll be fine? JMO, but I've always thought he was limited. Tyreek Hill fixes lots of problems, until he doesn't.

It's getting crowded in the Cousins is all you need to be a Super Bowl contender room.

I dont think the Steelers are ready to make that kinda move @ QB and I am not sure Kirko would want to play outside or the NE at this point in his career.  

 The smart $ says MN or Atl. 

 Mar 13 isnt that far away to get a deal done.

So does Tua have a brother playing for Maryland right now? I think he was just turned down for a 6th year of eligibility.

 3/13 isnt that far away to get a deal done.


I get your meaning but I initially read this as 3-13 isn't that far away if we don't get a deal done :#. I guess it'd be 4-13 these days.

I edited to Mar 13...They need to get a deal in place by this time. Or (I will have to agree with @MB) he's probably a gonner..

 MAR 11-13:

During the period beginning at 12:00 noon, New York time, on March 11 and ending at 3:59:59 p.m., New York time, on March 13, clubs are permitted to contact, and enter into contract negotiations with the certified agents of players who will become unrestricted free agents upon the expiration of their 2023 player contracts at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on March 13.

During the above two-day negotiating period, a prospective UFA who is not represented by an NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor (“Unrepresented Player”) is permitted to communicate directly with a new club’s front office officials (excluding the head coach and other members of the club’s coaching staff) regarding contract negotiations. The club is responsible for confirming the player’s status as an Unrepresented Player.

No prospective unrestricted free agent is permitted to execute a contract with a new club until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on March 13.

 MAR 13:

1). The 2024 League Year and Free Agency signing period begin at 4:00 p.m., New York time.

 2). Trading period for 2024 begins at 4:00 p.m., New York time, after expiration of all 2023 contracts.

 3). The first day of the 2024 League Year will end at 11:59:59 p.m., New York time, on March 13. Clubs will receive a Personnel Notice that will include all transactions submitted to the League office during the period between 4:00 p.m., New York time, and 11:59:59 p.m., New York time, on March 13.

At this point it looks like they would be the only realistic options looking around the league. 3 Years $135 million.

Vegas possibly, too. New defensive minded HC might prefer a vet to a kid. Davante might too.
