OFFICIAL NFL THREAD 2024-25: Week IX Vol: TNF

CMC looking at going to IR. Rough day for my friends in fantasy with the top 2 picks. CMC injured and cheetah losing his quarterback
 
Tua numbers

  1. The deal includes $167M guaranteed for injury
  2. $43M of which has been paid in 2024
  3. If he's medically cleared to return to football, but opts to retire, he will forego the remaining $124M guaranteed (barring a custom settlement)
  4. If he's medically forced into retirement, he has a right to collect the $124M remaining.
Further more if Tua is able to pass a physical next March, the Dolphins will have the ability to release him, with "only" his $50M of 2025 compensation on the hook. Tua's 2026 compensation ($54M) becomes fully guaranteed on March 14th. A Post 6/1 release prior to this means $83.6M of dead cap across 2025/2026.

Good heavens. Walk away now. No shame at all. Your families, family is set for life.
 
Do we really think the phins/nfl will deem Tua medically unfit so that he can collect on $125 mil? Hell no. The problem is it’s “just” a concussion. Something he can live with now

I will believe it when I see it. This is gonna be a sticky situation. I wouldn’t talk to anyone affiliated with the league when it comes to what he should do.

The league is full of deplorables and scumbags so I agree. They will.fight him for every penny. The only saving grace is that with their settlement for concussions it would be an awful look of they say it's just a concussion.

My friend is devastated that he got the first overall pick in his league and took CMC right now
My friend and your friend are in the exact same boat :lol :{

It's smart to play it safe with him objectively speaking, Shanny could pull someone off the practice squad and have them contributing :lol

No need to rush him back, my friend be damned.

Better to have him healthy for the postseason than the early part of the regular season
