Texans Trade for LT Laremy Tunsil

Is it possible O'Brien is tanking the roster in spite before leaving after the season? These moves seem beyond possibility.

I am almost rooting against the Texans and hoping Deshaun Watson doesn't bail these idiots out.

Bill O'Brien is trying to sew up the worst GM of all time title.

The Vikings GM says hold my beer Bill...

And trades a 5th round pick for a non-rookie kicker who had never kicked in a regular season game. Then less than a month later they cut him.

It amazes me some of these guys are employed in the NFL.

Keith: Is the Clowney deal the worst trade in Texans history?

BOB: LOL hold my beer.

It’s actually 3 firsts when you include this year’s pick for supposedly the LT of the future. Miami would have undoubtedly done this deal in March and would have saved us a 1st.

And to think all of this is because Rick Smith refused to negotiate with Duane Brown with 2 years left on his deal.

It boggles my mind that they fked the Duane Brown situation up so thoroughly.

Good thing I have a fresher memory of their dicking around and losing all their leverage with Clowney to distract me.

Not satisfied with shooting themselves in the foot this morning, whoever is running the Texans (O'Brien?) decided it was good to shoot themselves in the other foot later in the afternoon.

I thought the Dolphins were going to have a mutiny if Tunsil was traded. So are they now ready to walk out in a show of - what - displeasure?

Yes, three first rounders on one position (LT). Crazy. Trade away those 1st rounders "like you just don't care"!

Tunsil better be good, like, all-pro good for many years. Goodness gracious....

The NFL world wants to know, what are the Texans and Bill O'Brien doing?:

Quote:

On cutdown day in the NFL, there were a flurry of moves. Maybe teams got better, or worse, but mostly the moves made sense.

Then there’s the Houston Texans, who seemed to be unanimously ruled a loser of a hectic Saturday.

The Texans have famously gone without a general manager since Brian Gaine was suddenly fired, and maybe that was a mistake. The feeling is that coach Bill O’Brien is the main decision maker, though there is officially a committee operating as the Texans’ GM.

And they made moves that puzzled the NFL on Saturday.

...................

Houston getting left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Dolphins isn’t bad. He’s a good, young player and Deshaun Watson needs some protection. Receiver Kenny Stills seems a bit redundant with Will Fuller and Keke Coutee on the roster. And for Tunsil and Stills, the Texans gave up ... two first-round picks and a second-round pick. That’s massive. Houston also got a fourth-round pick back, and the Dolphins got special teamer Johnson Bademosi and offensive tackle Julie’n Davenport, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
