Not really totally sold on this move.
They must really like someone in this draft or intend to replace him with a similar talent.
The phrasing in the tweet sounded a lot like his contract might be based more around incentives.

The picks are: Washington’s a 2026 second-rounder, 2025 third-rounder, 2026 fourth-rounder and 2025 seventh-rounder. This is a wild trade on its face for the Texans: They are moving on from their only true left tackle and not getting much in the way of premium picks. Tunsil had a 89.1 PFF pass block grade in 2024 and while he’s never been good as a run blocker, he’s been acceptable out there. But Tunsil is entering his age-31 season, and getting off his contract frees up $13.8 million in cap space for the Texans. The Commanders, meanwhile, have solidified the offensive line for Jayden Daniels. And while 31 seems old in the NFL, elite left tackles have played well into their 30s. It’s a puzzling move for the Texans on first blush, and they will now have the burden of replacing Tunsil without anything more to show for it in 2025 but third- and seventh-round picks.
Last year in Chicago, Taylor had career lows in sacks (3), pressures (13), and snap % (37%).
If anyone can bring that out of him, it's Meco
Exactly.
Well, there's always Julien Davenport, who after spending a summer month in 2024 with the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas only to be released and picked up a month later to the Falcons PS for a month, then released and re-signed to their PS for another month before being released again. So he is FREE to be signed to replace Tunsil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great thing about football TV is that being a Brahmas fan myself here in SA 8 of the 10 games will be televised OTA yay!. I've been to 2 home games here. They are good especially lovin the Wade Phillips vibe.I think the Roughnecks need him more than the Texans.
These aren’t late though, So far I think I’ve seen some bargain pre-sales happening for the first time ever. I think we have made some excellent deals thus far. The Barnett one pleases me the most.Best free agent deals are sometimes the late ones on bargain basement prices.
oops Go Texans! Heed the call we need OL ie tackles guards add centers too can't have too many. Allow me to ask someone whatever happened to the Mixon stuff about something big is gonna happen. It's been quiet at the front.Well, there's always Julien Davenport, who after spending a summer month in 2024 with the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas only to be released and picked up a month later to the Falcons PS for a month, then released and re-signed to their PS for another month before being released again.

Those are in house. All teams do it, doesn’t change the calculus.
Yep, that's why they traded Tunsil when they did.
Probably gonna miss CJ too.
I would still be concerned about no decent transition time with a new high draft LT without a seasoned mentor elite LT on the team.
He's had major problems handling either of the tackle positions. I don't have much confidence that he could effectively mentor a rookie LT.
What, you dont think Howard would be a good mentor?
Also bringing back Barnett as the top reserve on the edge and Taylor in that designated pass rusher role. DL will be set!
The DL should be really good next yr.
What do you think about Grey Zabel? He’s been one of my draft crushes even if he may be more of an interior guy - although I always prescribe to the “prove he can’t do it” line of thinking with players.
I really like the idea of Zabel at C, but not sure Nick would draft a small school guy in the first; and the need might have shifted some this week
Why only at C?
Not only at C, but the idea of a big, athletic, smart, mean guy at C would go a long way to solving the Oline problems. Look at the impact Graham Barton had in TB this year
Does Carl Mauk have any grandchildren? How about Mike Webster?
Jim Otto?
We agree on this. Probably happening live (day one).
Awesome Thorn me too Roughnecks next on fav list behind Brahmas. The Alamodome is a great place for football good seats all around.Yeah, I'm a Brahmas fan as well because of Wade Phillips and it's a Texas team that isn't Dallas to follow besides the pathetic Roughnecks.
I won't watch a league that has no real ties to the NFL financially yet offers talent to the NFL. Unless an unpaid UFL isn't just here to be a free B**** for the NFL, I could care less for the USELESS FOOTBALL LEAGUE!
Good for you, we went to a game before Covid and had a great time.
The XFL 2 was a solid league and doing things right. This so called UFL is a joke just as the original UFL was. Hell just the fact that they brought back the UFL name which was a joke of a league looks bad. They can't even market their league or get involved in their communities in a way that says their serious about being successful. I have tried to get my friends to get interested in watching games and they think it is a joke. Yes going to NFL games is expensive but it is mostly free to watch the best players play on TV. If the UFL won't even be bothered to have a weekly show on at least one of their Tv affiliates or have those networks football shows give them honorable mention, than it should be no surprise when TV ratings tank and the stadiums they play in are mostly empty. The only city at this time that supports the UFL enough to inspire confidence is St. Louis, Missouri! Maybe if they last and the league brings back the XFL 3 Seattle Sea Dragons with their dragon slug logo that city will support their team and the league. The only reason those two cities got a lot of support was because they carried over from before Covid started and ended the XFL 2 which looked like it had a real chance to succeed. I predict season two is the last season for the UFL!
