ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Whether the Dolphins Overpaid to Keep Tua Tagovailoa | The Rich Eisen Show

uh let's get a little Grist of all the folks you've been talking to wh which is the quarterback signing of the offseason that's left heads being scratched the most which one is the one that folks are like don't know about that one the most oh quarterback signing I'm just trying so that would be Lawrence love Yeah Tua oh the big contracts okay I was thinking of like free agency signings yes sir because those sort a clearcut you know it's funny because you have a lot of talks about you know the quarterback market and do you pay for a guy who's maybe outside of the top 10 or middle of the road and teams have two passs on that right they either stick with the Comfort like we know we have a guy and life's much worse right without a guy who's sort of not in that top 16 or whatever it's the halves and the Have Nots and so teams are just deciding to blindly pay that um I think Miami you know there was some skepticism a little bit League wise just because of the injuries that he's had now look he led the league in passing and played 17 games last year he did what he had to do to get the money and you know when other quarterbacks were hitting that $50 million Mark including Trevor Lawrence then you know Tua can say look I can't take any less than that but I know that Miami even though they have a lot of Faith In Tua and Mike McDaniel loves Tua they were spooked in that building a little bit when Lawrence and and Jared G were getting 52 to $55 million there there was some spookiness is there they're like okay we have to do this and we really like Tua but you know he's I don't think a lot of people would mistake him for being in that sort of Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes class Joe burrow so it's it's it's a tough pill to swallow a little bit but they do believe that they can win with him and they have the team around them to do it so I would say that one just you know teams bring up Tua like you know he's he's good not great do you pay for just good you know or at least Trevor Lawrence for all the problems he's had and he was bad last year but he was also I think more hurt than people let on or knew um he his ceiling's higher you know so you pay for the ceiling Jordan love you pay for the ceiling you pay for what they could be um so you know and Jared gof there weren't a lot of complaints about that contract honestly he he became a top 10 quarterback without the contract just the last two years alone like he's a guy now um it's been a pretty impressive rise for when he was left for dead three years ago or two years ago in La catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
