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. |

if the trade makes sense and doesn’t fleece the lint out of our assholes. Then fine I’m good with it. Trading tons of picks for 30 year old Wrs cause we can’t win a superbowl with our current core of Wrs is Alex smith desperate. We’ve been smart. No need to go full Reerun just because CP. |

I was all about signing Brown to a big deal, but I've changed my mind about that.
No thanks to this as well This is going to cost at least a 1st round pick. Anyone that thinks we'd get him and not have to give up a first is delusional. Orlando Brown cost us a 1st. Tunsil is a legit top 3 LT. Texans have all the leverage, but honestly they are reeruned if they trade him. They need to get a QB and they need to protect that new QB. Why would they trade Tunsil, who has several more great years left. Plus it's gonna cost a new contract and that contract is going to be a record breaker. We don't need the best LT in the league. With how Patrick Mahomes plays QB we need a guy that is top 10-15 at the position. We don't need a large cap hit for the position. Patrick Mahomes can make an average to good LT look great and that's all we need. That allows us to pay for game changing players and a LT for us isnt a game changing position. No to Tunsil, but I bet they don't trade him anyway. |

2023 1st & 2024 2nd for Tunsil 2023 2nd for Hopkins 2023 3rd + x2 2024 3rd for DE Z Smith Use the money we save on Clowney, get x2 comp 3rd next year for OBJ and JuJu. All 3 are in win-now mode in their careers. Last edited by Couch-Potato; 03-12-2023 at 05:02 PM.. |

Starting to think Paris Johnson and Broderick Jones are the only guys that are capable of being plus starters at LT in this draft.
Obviously Anton Harrison is intriguing but I wonder if he can be make that transition in the NFL
