If Tunsil doesn't agree to restructure that means Houston will have $35,210,834 Cap hit! There is just no way they do that.

Tunsil just has to say NO I won't extend this season and he will get traded.

I think this trade would be fair for both teams:

Houston gets:
#31-Get back into the 1st for that 5th year option
2024 1st
CEH, if they want him

Chiefs get:
Tunsil
#33


Texans can go:
#2: QB
#12: D/OL
#31: D/OL

Not too sure...They are talking about trading back, getting more picks, and using them to go all in for Caleb Williams next year. Could just be smoke though, its tat time of year.

Gosh I wonder what tree mcdaniels and caserio are from.

No kidding. LMAO

I've said since the beginning it would have to be a Tony G type, "I don't wanna go thru a rebuild or I won't sign a LTD here" kinda thing.

If they were gonna trade him they shoulda done it last year anyway so it's unlikely to happen at this point anyway.

I just think having an elite LT is so important. Especially in this offense with this QB.

I would pay QB, I would pay Tackles and I would pay Pass Rushers, (maybe a really elite corner too) everyone else is expendable and replaceable through cheap free agents or draft picks.

If I'm the Texans wouldn't the '24 pick be potentially more valuable than '23? This draft is pretty meh and Texans have 3 of the top 33 picks anyway. I think the obvious trade is...

Chiefs give 2nd round 2023, 1st round 2024

Texans give Tunsil

All predicated on whether they even entertain trading him, but this one seems more likely to me if they are open for business. It still lets the Chiefs draft at #31 in front of the home fans too (if that's actually important to Clark).

$35M cap hit for one year and then you have to franchise tag him. There's absolutely a world where Houston trades him away and goes full rebuild. Having three first round picks this year alone would be quite the splash. They are bereft of talent. That's not a situation where you want $35M to go towards one player who doesn't touch the ball.

And the reason why you want the #31 pick is that it's the last one with a fifth year option.

You know what's sexier than having a first round pick in front of a home crowd?

A fifth straight AFC Championship in front of a home crowd.

Clark has stated in interviews that he has no issues trading out of the 1st round if it improves the team.

How are these two things related?

Science.

Perhaps. I wasn't very good in science which is why I had questions.

I know, but it also gets brought up often about the draft in KC and the comment/joke made by Veach long ago that Clark said he couldn't trade the 1st round pick.

Honestly if I'm the Texans I might want the 2nd in '23 and the 1st in '24. Or at least it would be on the table as an option. If I'm building the Texans I would give a lot of consideration to the following type of rebuild:

- Sign a Jimmy G type QB to a 2-3 year deal that I can get out of in 2 years...
- Trade back from #2 to #3-#7 depending on who wants to come up for a QB.
- Trade Tunsil for #2nd rounder this year + 1st next year.

Start building the roster this year with young talent and roll into '24 draft with my pick + browns + KC to target Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. Both of those guys would be consensus QB#1 in this draft...
