00:00To a time in South Florida. The first of the QB Extensions Inc. this weekend on Friday

00:09afternoon as the Parade of Nations was floating down the River Seine in Paris. Some breaking

00:15news back here stateside for Tua Tunggabailoa. A four-year $212.4 million deal. That is $53.1

00:26million annually that makes Tua Tunggabailoa the fourth highest paid quarterback in the

00:32history of the National Football League and of course at this current time. So Tua gets

00:38his deal. He is the franchise QB in the face of the franchise in South Florida for many

00:43years to come. Well deserved and sometimes you know it's not so much that lets you say

00:47the Dolphins are your favorite team like hey we got Tua signed here but when you can look

00:50and maybe cheer for a guy that seems like just a great team guy always happy willing

00:55to put in the work and just had some issues with concussion like man it's a shame he's

00:59going through that good to see him and you saw him on the sidelines at training camp

01:03practice grab that microphone and basically shout into it show me the money the crowd

01:07loved it at that point you sort of felt well-deserved and I also felt like their head coach said

01:12the right things as well like it's not time for a celebration it's a smile and a handshake

01:16now we got to get back to work and I think they will get back to some work because that

01:19offense is going to cook this year because there is speed once again all over the place

01:24the question is going to be on the defense for the Miami Dolphins here and we'll get

01:27into that in a little bit but focusing here on the quarterback itself if you can keep

01:31him upright in the pocket he is the perfect point guard and maestro for that offense and

01:36I know there's always going to be contributions or should I say people say oh I should have

01:39got Justin Herbert at this point so we'll talk about if it's perfectly in Miami with

01:42Donnie he didn't win in the playoffs last year what in minus 79 degree temperatures

01:47against Kansas City of course he's not going to win that football game when Miami didn't

01:50bring half of their football team due to injury I love this signing here for him I

01:54just hope it works out in the favor for both because the player got his money now we just

01:59need him to be healthy because the thing that we always talk about with Tua is not the performance

02:03on the field the guy's a winner he's won in college he's had some success in the NFL it's

02:07just trying to stay healthy and I don't want to see week number three concussion test on

02:11Tua Tagovailoa because that'll derail that season right away he deserved to be paid and

02:15got paid couldn't be happier for the guy
