Saying Kyler on a league minimum is worse than this situation is a ridiculous statement. He’s pretty clearly been top 15 when healthy based on both eye test and advanced metrics

Could say similar to Tua if you're going to go there with Kyler. He has had some good seasons in the past, and Falcons are barely paying him anything.

Because Tua can’t physically play anymore. The cardinals just wanted a reset

I mean we can tell from preseason Tua is absolutely cooked. He will embarrass himself the first couple of weeks, the hits have taken their toll. I'd take Kyler every day over Tua.
