OT-Packers locked up J. Love

The Dolphins outbid themselves on that one.

Could have had him play out his contract this year, then franchised him twice(kinda like Cousins with the Vikings), and saved like $100 million.
Tua is a system QB. He does a nice job getting the ball out quick so that Hill and Waddle can run 60 yards after the catch. But Tua couldn't get half that playing in a different system.
 
Exactly.

Who were they actually bidding against?
Nobody. The only logic that I can think of is that the Dolphins thought it would be cheaper to extend him now than sign him as a free agent next year. But I cannot think of a team that would look at Tua and say, "there's our guy. Let's outbid the Dolphins and give him $60 million a year.

These QB prices are just nuts. Kirk C started this BS, but right now

Jordan Love - Has done jack shit. A really good last 8 games.
Tua - Has done jack shit. Often injured
Burrow - 1 SB appearance, but often injured.
Lawrence - Has done jack shit
D. Watson - Has done jack shit and molests women.

The list goes on. I know you are projecting and some of it is a gamble, but I have no idea why they don't let these guys play out their deals either.

people said the same when Joe Flacco was made the highest paid QB in the NFL with a $120mil/6 yr deal which looks hilarious now.

i do mostly agree with your list, but Burrow has proven to be capable of dethroning Mahomes, which is nearly priceless. He's the Manning to Mahomes' Brady.

When a QB sits out till his contract is addressed its no longer possible to let them play out their contract...but I agree with you....it just isnt a reality now a days.

That Tua deal though...heard somebody say it was at least possible that the Fish's GM extended him because he was just validating the pick...in other words.."If I extend him, then it proves I made a good pick when I took him"

Now that line of thinking goes over my head, but I get it. The Fish have waaaay to much wrapped up in Waddle and Tua and the wife beater.
