| 0:00.0 | Hello, Miami Dolphins fans. How are you today? And thank you for listening to the Dolphins Talk.com podcast on the Sunday evening, March the 8th. I'm your host, Michael Liva. Flying Solo today is a free agency is just a few hours away Monday at noon. I know they call it the legal tampering period. It's really a start of free agency because teams and players will agree to deals. |
| 0:21.7 | And it's not like those deals usually don't end up happening when it gets to Wednesday at 4 p.m. |
| 0:26.6 | Eastern. |
| 0:27.0 | So free agency a few hours away. |
| 0:29.2 | Don't think it's going to be a busy week for the dolphins and, you know, adding players per se. |
| 0:33.3 | But it might be a busy news week. |
| 0:34.9 | And I think we're starting to get a clear picture on what the dolphins might be doing, a quarterback and stuff like that. So we're going to talk about all of that on today's show. Before I get to that, let's get the business aspect out of the way. This show is brought you by Canesware.

And between now and the end of the show, I will read it on the air. All right, let's, I guess the big news that probably is going to happen this week, and it might even happen by the time some of you are listening to this on Monday, if you listen on Monday. I think the dolphins most likely will let go of Tua this week. I think this is the week it happens. It doesn't have to happen this week, but I think it's going to happen this week. I have a feeling it might happen Monday morning too. I would not be shocked if when everyone wakes up Monday morning pretty early, if there's a tweet out that two has been released. Now, as we've spoken about on this show, |
| 2:23.9 | the past month or so, Miami's got four options on how they can do this. Two of them seem unrealistic. |
| 2:30.5 | Two of them are more realistic. They're not going to take the $99 million cap hit. |
| 2:52.0 | That ain't happened. They're not going to restructure his deal to have it be a small cap hit. I think those two are just like the far extremes. The two most likely. And the most likely is they're going to, he has an option in his contract. They're going to pick up the option. And the cap hit this year will be roughly $55 million. And the cap it in 2027 will be 43 million. |
| 3:07.7 | If they don't pick up the option, the cap hit this year will be roughly $55 million. And the cap hit in 2027 will be $43 million. If they don't pick up the option, the cap hit this year is $67 million. The cap hit next year is like $32 million or something. It's going to be one of those two. And I think the most likely, as we've said on this show numerous times, and we've spoken about ad nauseum for weeks. They're going to pick up the option. |
