I’m ALMOST of the same mindset. Rip that mother fooking band aid off and take the pain in 2026. The only reason I’m not COMPLETELY in that mindset, I see the POSSIBILITY of someone willing to trade for Tua, even if it’s a future conditional 6th round pick for 2027. If we could get a quarterback weak team like the Cardinals, Raiders, Jets, Falcons, Titans, Saints to bite and give Tua a “second chance”, that would alleviate a lot of the cap burden. Not all, but a lot of it. That would be IDEAL but will it happen? More than likely not.
That would be great but from what most people are saying we would have to give up a draft pick instead of getting one.
There is value in making a decision and sticking to it. Waiting for the optimal path to open up has the risk of losing the opportunity to take other paths while waiting as well as the risk of the optimal path not coming to fruition.
Oh I agree but that "deadline" if you will hasn't come to pass yet. If we cut Tua prior to June 1st, we're ripping that band aid off. Its only February so there is still time to pursue other possibilities. But this right here should be sending a strong message to Tua. The phones aren't ringing off the hook with other opportunities for him. If he plans on continuing a career in the NFL, he needs to work his asteroid off. He'll need to be twice as good just to be good enough. But if nothing looks like its going to come to fruition by draft day, expect to see him cut then.
