Deal is worth $3.2mm guarenteed. Wasn't Russell Wilson complaining about his OL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 It's also pretty insane to me that Houston spent 3 1sts and 3 2nds on Tunsil, Howard, and Scharping but still has one of the worst OL in football. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll see an improvement from that unit with Mike Devlin leaving and James Campen coming in as OL coach. Mike Devlin was a disaster. It should be an improvement for whoever is taking snaps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Devlin was a disaster. It should be an improvement for whoever is taking snaps... When you're at the bottom the only place to go is up baby, let's go. One of my good friends is a die hard Texans fan and we've had multiple conversations about how badly the Texans have blown personnel moves and trades. I know Dillard has been hurt but I think he'll be a good starting OT, Houston could've moved up like 2 picks to grab him. And IIRC during 2019 free agency Houston had more cap space than any team in the league and refused to spend it when they could've targeted guys like Trent Brown, Daryl Williams, or Rodger Saffold. But instead chose to give up massive draft capital and pay Tunsil. Edited March 6, 2021 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'm sure he can't wait to snap the ball to Houston's Day 1 starting QB, Josh McCown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you spend 3 1st and 3 2nds and have so little? Insane, even for Bill O’Brien. it’s even worse then that because they could have drafted Sewell this year.... who Wouldn’t cost 22M/year Like Tunsil.

That makes our recent low return on draft and salary cap look much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm seeing/hearing it, Brown has been a bit of a bust FA for Oakland, isn't he? So I wouldn't really call that a bad thing in hindsight, missing on him.

He came in and was really good, then realized he'd have to keep working to stay good and kind of checked out. He's soft and lazy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borderline All-Pro when healthy but has missed 16 games over the last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
