I have a tough time supporting trading a young franchise LT in any situation.

It was reported Dolphins locker room was going to revolt if they traded Tunsil...this move basically says they are going 4-12 or worse. So...

OK, now it makes sense for MIA, especially if they are fully unprotected (which it should be considering NFL trades rarely have protection).

If they revolt, revolt will be favored by a touchdown. *stolen*

Picks are never protected in the NFL. Houston ended up parting with the 4th pick the following year after swapping picks with Cleveland to land Watson. Cleveland took the corner from Ohio State.

Wow, Houston going all in.

I like this for Houston -- GMs need to be more ballsy. There should be an extension in place.

Obviously this is a kneejerk reaction to the Luck deal though.

Bill O'Brien ensuring his job security, because no one will want to come into an organization that's without their next 2 1st round picks

Getting very different signals from this and the Clowney deal. If you’re gonna go all in, why not play hard ball with Clowney?

Is Tunsil the guy from that weird draft incident with like his stepdad trying to sewer his value or something?

Sigh..... I guess this helps "the tank", but for the life of me I don't get trading a possible cornerstone to the rebuild.

He was caught on video smoking from a bong right before the draft, yes to the above.

Give and take. The Texans need to invest in offensive linemen and they need to do that right now. A huge contract given to Clowney would prevent them from doing that.

I don't think trading for a player who could realistically spend the next decade with the organization is going "all in". Going all in would be trading for Joe Staley or something.

That is crazy. I hate that we got rid of Tunsil though. The guy is a stud. And I just wish this was next season, not this one. I have serious doubts regarding Tua.

 

[N o o d l e s]

First of all, who cares if Miami players revolt? Cut them all and start fresh, they are trash.

Second of all, Houston is crazy. They're going to be average at best even with this trade and they gave up two 1sts and a 2nd to make it? If Miami has a competent GM in house, this trade could be franchise altering.

Tunsil is a franchise LT. Love it for Houston.

Its moreso BoB going all in to try and save his ass for a bit longer. I’m ecstatic to get Tunsil but it’s been a confusing day as a Texans’ fan.

 

[GKJ]

With Josh Rosen, unless they feel he's hideous, I don't think the Dolphins will be looking for a QB in the next draft. They have enough picks to target whoever they want though.

Just don’t see it with Tua either. I’d do everything humanly possible for Lawrence in 2021 though.

I would fill as many holes as we can in next years draft, and do whatever needs to be done to land Lawrence the season after next. IMO, he is the best QB prospect since Peyton.
