Total BS. The Texans have ZERO interest in trading Tunsil. All the bad blood of the past has been worked out, and he is a team captain now. He is happy there and they are happy with him. They are in the market for a franchise quarterback either this year or next, and the last thing they're going to is trade one if the top LT's in the league, because they're going to soon need him to protect their franchise QB. It would have to to be an outrageous trade offer in order for them to do it. And I don't see Veach doing that at all.

I was referring more to Tunsil retweeting Mahomes saying it was going to be a crazy week after the report.

I didn't mention it because that's just as thin. :-)

There is NO better LT in the league for Reid's system!

Could they use CEH or MVS? 2024 1st + one or both of CEH/MVS?

Could also make a splash and trade: This trade is actually spot on trade chart points wise!

Texans get:
2023 #31
2024 1st
2025 1st

Chiefs get:
Tunsil
#12

At #12 take our pass rusher or WR or whatever. Texans take the picks to rebuild.

So if OBJ decides he gets a better deal somewhere else is there any way for us to sign and trade him to recoup value?

We will very likely get a 3rd round comp pick next year

ESPN insider names Texans LT Laremy Tunsil as Chiefs trade target

Could the Kansas City Chiefs go back to the trade market to find their left tackle of the future? One ESPN insider is watching a particular player closely if that’s the case.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano recently helped compile some last-minute free agency and trade buzz with the NFL’s legal tampering period kicking off at noon tomorrow. He mentioned that Houston Texans LT Laremy Tunsil could be a trade target for Kansas City if they’re unable to get a long-term deal done with Orlando Brown Jr. ahead of Monday.

Check it out:



What would need to happen for a trade to materialize?

First, Houston would need to decide that they did not want to pay Tunsil a long-term contract extension. That would be a bold move considering they’re expected to draft a rookie quarterback and nothing is better for a rookie quarterback than an established left tackle.

Second, the two sides would have to agree on trade compensation. Would the Chiefs really be willing to potentially give up a first-round draft pick in 2023 (and potentially more) for Tunsil when they’re hosting the draft in Kansas City?

Next up, the Chiefs and Tunsil’s representation would need to first agree to a contract extension that would lower his 2023 salary cap hit. Right now, his cap hit would put the team over the cap.

Finally, Kansas City must view Tunsil as their “long-term solution” at left tackle. Will they envision him as such when he’ll be 29 years old in Week 1 of 2023? There is certainly nothing wrong with his ability — in three of the past four seasons, he’s been among PFF’s highest-graded pass-blocking offensive tackles. They should have no problem paying for that production, but would it be for more than one contract? It’s hard to say. When you draft a rookie in the first round, you get five years of control (fifth-year option), plus a likely sixth year of control through the franchise tag. Then you have the potential of re-signing that player to a long-term deal afterward.

There are certainly benefits to trading for Tunsil, but given what we’re hearing about what the Chiefs want out of the left tackle position this offseason, a trade might not be the route they take.

1. KC may be able to acquire without giving up 2023 first round pick
2. 29 is young for the LT position. Different positions have different life spans. Tackles and QBs can play into their late 30’s-early 40’s.
