Sorry for the triple post but this is kind of important: Rare does someone come to Htine and want to leave the city. He's even wearing glorious red. Our new bridge coach?
Well looks like Tunsil is in for the rebuild. That was a real inflection point for the Texans, because if they liquidated him that would be burning it down to the studs. Between the fact you have a stud LT in his prime and more cap space, the timeline for the turnaround just got moved forward a bit.
Not moving Tunsil is smart. If you really want Mills to do well you don’t go tinkering with your tackles. Allows the team to focus on skill guys and let Tunsil regain some traction and see if it makes more sense to move him next year after he hopefully has an all pro type season. I’d bet the Texans were getting lowballed.
Solid point. Tunsil is at his near all time low in value. However, my guess is that if they're not trading him now it means they plan to resign him next offseason. You could try trading him then, but he'd be on the last year of his deal and would basically be a rental for most teams. Barring a totally unforeseen setback with the team overall I think he's here to stay.
Makes sense. You are not using that salary cap space this year. Build his value back up and the. Trade him next year.
