We absolutely could still be in the market for Tunsil or any LT really because the Taylor contract is a Veach special. I fully expect him to restructure the agreement each year to bring the cap number down (it’s only $6mm this year and with future restructures would be $12mm in 2024 and $21mm in 2025 — essentially eating up the $40mm guarantee). You then face $21mm in dead money or extend him and do it all over again. Bottom line is there is plenty of potential cap space to bring on Tunsil and pay out a $20mm avg salary because the Taylor contract won’t be anywhere near a $20mm avg (more like $13mm/year).
