Re: Tua Status for Sunday

Yeah it's been a decent amount of time.

Apparently his parents said he was planning on playing next year.

I'll set the over under at 6.5 games played before the season ends.

But Tua's concussion risk will be severely diminished when sitting on the bench behind Tom Brady.

If it is up to the players, it is up to their situation. Tua is a young player who hasn't got paid. Financial and alpha dog mentality (for these NFL player) wise, he would want to play in his first playoff game, unless he's not in time to clear.

I have a feeling Morse will stick around at least one more year, even the Bills would go on to win a superbowl this year. I listened to his interview before the Bengals game when he came back from the concussion. You can tell he's at peace with his decision and he calmly mentioned his family is at peace with this decision. He signed 2 year extension. I feel he plays at least one more season if not both.

I know things change every year and you never know about injury. But I just feel the best shot this Bills team at superbowl was last year and will be next year. Last year they peaked at the right time. Next year they will have marginal contributors this year - Cook, Shakir, Davis entering contract year, Spencer Brown, Elam, White - potentially stepping up to another level. This year unfortunately we have too many injuries and transitions (coaches, and rookies reliance), and we still have a good shot of going all the way.

Thing is, who is going to pay him now? Allen, Mahomes, Watson, Murray- all these guys are getting well north of $40 mil a year, most are over $45 mil a year. Who is going to take that risk on Tua knowing that he could retire or have his career ended at any time?

As far as Brady goes.
Dolphins Raiders or retire?
Tua don't listen to mom and dad.
