I can't see him walking any from all that gtd money though bc I know I wouldn't be able to walk away and I feel like most people would feel that way. That's a life changing amount of money. He already has life changing money. If he invests properly there’s still generational wealth there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Some guys just can't take a lot of hits. If you look at his long injury history, Tua is one of those guys. At some point he has to get out. I thought he should have hung it up two years ago. I mean, last night's incident wasn't even that violent. He basically concussed himself running into Damar Hamlin's pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tua retires due to injury but is cleared medically, he forfeits over $120M in GTD money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ramster Posted Saturday at 02:11 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:11 AM Tua will never retire. The coach doesn’t even wanna retire. Morality doesn’t exist in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torched last week, beaten twice last night, once by a RB. He’s done. Yet he pocketed a ton of cash…Miami aren’t the smartest organisation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you have (or the more frequently) the easier it is to get another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotrac has nearly $75m in career earnings for him salary wise, not counting any endorsements or anything. If he puts $37m into index funds, with an 8% return, that’s $372m in 30 years without adding any additional money to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong. He's rich as hell already, but by your logic it's also almost a billion-dollar difference in 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank4Drake Posted Saturday at 10:44 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:44 PM I could see Tua retiring at the end of the year, but he’s not gonna do it during the season. He has a warrior mentality. Wouldn’t wanna let his teammates down like that. Too many people on the internet are trying to make this decision for him and they are over stepping their boundaries. This is Tua’s decision. Personally, I think he only misses one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why I try to not take sides in holdout discussions. Because if we’re doing the same math on Trent Williams, in 30 years he will be one of the billionaire owners (or the potential to be one.). Easily more money than I’ll see. Point for Tua, it’s more money than most people would know what to do with. Is more worth his long-term health and ability to enjoy it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet he pocketed a ton of cash…Miami aren’t the smartest organisation. Dealing with a hammy. Should have been sitting past two weeks. He’s fine. Ideally, the Fins give Tua either a cushy job or a nice settlement so that he doesn’t need to try and play anymore. He will be cleared to play again eventually and if it’s either 1. Play and get the money; or 2. Retire and lose the money, he’s very likely to try and play. Option 3 of him never having to suffer another concussion on a football field, while still getting some of that money, is the best option.

People are seriously overstimating how "easy" it is to think and slide in that moment down 21, trying to compete. It’s a thin line between being a competitor and knowing your career is on the line.
