Tua waited until right after (like a few minutes after) Bryce Young signed his NLI to post this.
Tua doesn't really play games and I think there's a better than 50% chance he comes back.
Just speculation on my part, but if he told Saban he's coming back, he likely did it the day he posted on Instagram of himself in Saban's office. And Saban told him to keep it quiet until after signing day.
Major factors are that if he gets grades back that show him lower than 15 and also Taulia is a big factor as well.

It's all about where he could be drafted and espn had him in the top5. If that's the case then he's gone. If he slides to the late 1st rd then he might stay

ESPN and their draft "analysts" aren't the opinions Tua and his family care about.

Not Tua but Moses said he’s announcing his decision after the game. So I’m going to lean in him leaving.

It's actually all about whether his hip joint can pass a medical eval at the combine.

There were people saying that the supplement draft could be an option. I'm sure it could be, but going that route would be a bad decision, in my opinion.
This would be a really tough decision, I hope whichever way they go, that it works out for them.

I just don’t understand this logic at all. So I’m going to still be a first round pick and I’m going to an infinitely better team/situation? Forget that!!!! I want more money to get beaten up with a crappy organization!!!
Just doesn’t make sense to me.

I agree. If you go high in the first round, chances are the team you go to has more problems than Qb. If you go later, the team that picks you probably has a good OL and running game to take pressure off the Qb.

Plus you have TWO organizations looking to replace their HOF QBs. Yeah I think I’d be ok with falling to the Saints or Patriots. With Saban’s relationship with Belichick do we really think New England passes on getting a top 3 talent at 30+?

What??? How many players turn down high draft spots. Of course the higher the pick the worse the team is. I'm sure jerry juedy is thinking, man how can. I slide in the draft. No they are thinking $$$ and they should be. Every player wants to be drafted high as possible. I don't understand how that dosent make sense
Posted on 12/23/19 at 8:24 pm to seanpendleton10
If I’m falling out of the first, then it makes sense. If I’m going to a much better situation, no it doesn’t. Tua said as much if you listen to what he said initially. No guarantee he’d be ready and he could fall to the 3rd round. I don’t see that happening with the situation I cited above.
Posted on 12/23/19 at 8:30 pm to JJ27
He would be crazy to turn down a top 5 pick. If he could slide that far then he should return. Let's say he did return! Would he be 100% by summer camp or even the beginning of the season? That's something else to consider

Technically 3, the Chargers are in the market for their next qb.

I really don't understand why he would stay, but I'd be happy to have him back for another season.

There more teams that will make a run a at Tua if he shows he healty enough to play next yr.
That might be mid to late next season but worth a team like Miami with multiple picks in the first.
Those two picks around 18-20 would allow them to move up to say 12 to pick Tua.
Also just like Arizona did with Rosen there may be a few teams that will take a shot even with a current starter like jags,radiers,bears,Panthers, falcons.
As Tua marketing value should also make a team reach a little dispite the injury and thats why I think he does not slide late first or early second.
Between pick 5 and 20 there are 11 possible picks that need a Qb and that not even considering a team like NE, NO or Pittsburg trading up although Pitt would be needing to offer next yrs first round pick.
I really think jags, dolphins will panic that broncos and Elway wont let Tua get past them at around 9-11.
Hence the reason kiper still has Tua so how in his mocks.
