Miami Herald is reporting Tua had a ‘weird’ meeting with Dolphins brass

The recent report is Tua Tagovailoa had a ‘weird’ meeting with the Dolphins.

“Weird.”

The Miami Herald’s source has defined this ‘weird’ feeling as: “No one was excited. They didn’t give any indication of ‘he’s their guy.’ He felt weird. Like is this a joke?”

All Phins fans can ‘thank their lucky stars’ that it’s also reported that “He’s not turned off, but it was just weird.”

Note the dripping sarcasm.

We can’t confirm if this source is legit, but Safid Dean wouldn’t risk his reputation on making up a source upon so little a story. So, if I were betting my life on whether this is really how Tua felt or not, I’d bet with the best pay per heads that this is legit like www.AcePerHead.com.

What should we make of Tua’s reaction?

I guess the truth is to each his own about how to take it.

As for me…

There’s no way Tua didn’t let this ‘leak’ get out. Even if it came from his agent, it had to have his thumbs up. This is just one more strike for why we shouldn’t draft Tua. For such a reportedly humble guy, this sure rings of being a serious primadonna.

Let me get this straight: It’s odd that the Front Office didn’t fawn over, give the red carpet to, or giggling like a school-girl in the excitement of an injury-riddled college player who they just started to evaluate.

Really, this is a ‘weird’ interaction?

Hello! This isn’t college recruitment. Teams don’t need to sell themselves to the player. In the NFL draft, the player needs to sell themselves to the team. Things change in Free Agency, but that’s a whole other deal. Tua hasn’t even completed a full college season, so he’s a long, long way from getting that sweet FA perk.

This report sure does make Tua sound a bit childish, insecure, or even narcissistic. No?

Isn’t the buyer expected to beware of quickly buying a superb car listed at a decent price when it’s been in a terrible wreck? In Tua’s case, it’s a couple of wrecks, actually.

Only a fool or someone standing to gain would rush into a deal over excellent, but damaged goods. Miami stands to lose a ton and Tua stand to make a ton, so no wonder Tua and the ‘source’ think it’s weird that Miami hasn’t locked their future to his. This sure sounds like the ole’ pressure sale technique on a questionable product.

I’ll flip Tua’s ‘feelings’ back on him: This story sure makes me feel weird about Tua… like is this a joke… except I’m not laughing.

Phins, please pass on Tua. Let him go to someone that doesn’t make him feel ‘weird’. Go Phins.
