Please, please, please..keep it to the topic and not moan about what we gave for him. Everyone knows that and like the deal or not I just do not care; picks are gone. My question is if he stands on the $20 million avg per year do we pay or try to work a deal? Several teams were interested in him pre 2019 and despite some good LTs (I am not so high on those) being mocked round one could we make a move good for Houston and use that $20 m elsewhere? I realize we'd need a LT replacement but here are some deals I would be interested in that the other teams should agree to. If you are going to disagree, give reasons other than "they won't do it".
Note my preference is to extend Tunsil for a reasonable deal six years rather than 4 or 5 with $55 million GTD and that extra year to spread a huge signing bonus over to assist keeping his cap as low as possible. I also would rather pay 26 YOA Tunsil than TWill 32 but the latter can start for the entire contract plus bring much needed help in a trade.
First some comparisons: Lane Johnson Eagles RT Nov of 2019 signed 4 year extension $72 m with GTD $54.59 m and was 29 YOA. In July 2018 27 YOA Taylor Lewan extended for 5 years $80m with 50 GTD and he is a LT.
Option #1 Washington 1.2 plus Trent Williams. I have Tua going here but there is just as much reason they stick with second year QB first pick Dwayne Haskins. If so, Washington needs a left tack in worst way and TWill continues to want out and more money. They want a first for him but I say not happening. Getting Tunsil solves both a both blind side protector and moves TWill saving face for Snyder. Most have DE/OLB Chase Young to Washington but they've got to have LT and those are more rare than QBs. Benefit to Houston is a 7 straight year pro-bowler who turns 32 July this year. Having off 2019 could benefit him. Yes many would rather pay Tunsil but 1.2 gets you Chase filling another high need or trading down for more picks. For example Miami 5 & 18 brings you priority players and maybe Ruiz RG/center at 18 or a very good WR.
Option #2 Giants many thought race for Chase was done deal until they let Washington beat them to #2. Nate Solder needs to go to RT as he was less than 65 PFF not earning his paycheck. Similar options here including trade down from 1.4 and getting 2.36 for another guy and offering 2.57 for Twill. Benefits Houston with more picks and still getting a LT in draft or at 2.57.
Option 3 I see Chargers going with QB Tyrod Taylor or a FA or possibly using 3.71 on Jalen Hurts who many seem to have forgotten. Houston uses 1.4 for massive but smooth LT Mekhi Becton my favorite and 2.37 for another priority player. I would with this draft consider sending 2.57 to Washington for TWill and using 1.4 elsewhere perhaps a trade down as QBs remain on board there.
