    Tunsil is NOT a Free Agent. He is on the 5th year option next season.

    True. All of the Tunsil contract talk is towards the idea that it would be better to extend him now, while there is some money to go around. Instead of waiting until next year's offseason, and doing the Clowney, 'We'll tag you if you don't sign!' 'F You! I'll hold out!' mess from this last offseason.

    The Texans stupidly gave up a ton of picks for the guy: they have to sign him long term. Which his people know. Plus, PFF is giving him very good grades in pass blocking. (I guess false starts don't count.) He has tons of value. The rational hope therefore is to give him his money now, and in exchange, the amount is less than it would be next year, as there would be fewer market-making contracts to raise his price.

    Or they can play hardball. Have Tunsil play under the option year terms, have another Lane Johnson-type deal or two in the interim inflate the market further, watch their cap space dwindle, and play f*#k-f*#k games with the franchise tag. Damn it. The Texans are going to go for Door #2, aren't they?

    Tunsil killed at least 2 good drives yesterday. One was looking to set up a TD. Seems like he's hurting more than helping. Yeah he helps to keep Watson on his feet but at the same time keeps the Texans out of the endzone.

    Three false starts. Ridiculous

    At home. Where the crowd was probably less noisy during that ass kicking than your average operating room.

    He wasn't known for this in Miami. What's the problem here?

    Tunsil goes when D4 claps, and not when Martin snaps. He's the only one "moving," so it isn't like he forgot the count. They need to address that entire operation.

    Lame. It's not like holding, you either move early or you don't. I haven't noticed any of his being questionable.
