ESPN insider names Texans LT Laremy Tunsil as Chiefs trade target
Didn’t see it posted.
https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2023...laremy-tunsil/ 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: Quote:
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. |

You’d figure Tunsil can play at this level for 4-5 years
Hell maybe more You’d trade 31 for that |

There's a reason why they are picking #2 overall

I think this deal can get done without a first involved.

Wait, how am I supposed to interpret this?
Am I supposed to just ignore the popcorn emojis? But if I don't ignore them, it suggests sitting on the sidelines watching is it. If ignore them, it suggests sky is the limit. Patrick might just be bored and going on a Sunday afternoon troll. ![]() |

I’m FAPing to a pipe dream where Tunsil refuses to resign with HOU and is willing to take a top of the market deal, but not reset to play on a contender.

But will Larry Tunsil go around the locker room interviewing players with stupid questions. We need that I think.
