So net/net, turning worthless sack of aggy shit who might not have made the roster into a fairly significant upgrade at SS costs us an extra $800K on the cap and a late-round downgrade in next year’s draft? Great move…

CJ seeing that he’ll have an entirely new OL in front of him for 2025…image.gif.ca404b5e39cdad10ef8a95553047c19b.gif

Yea. CJ is going to go from

to

Wow, that Green for CJGJ is pretty awesome. Excellent move, fills a need for little to nothing lost. Green is easily replaced with a cheap free agent. Our defense is gonna be salty next year.

biggest play of the year and he looked like a guy off the street. let ewers get killed

Yep. Those 3 are the franchise.

Along with Nico (already extended), and think you can add Lassiter to that list pretty soon…

DL: Rankins
LB: Al-Shaair
LB: Harris/To’oTo’o

Where does this unit rank entering 2025?

Top five, perhaps better than that 

They're a stud DT away from being elite, which is why I was hoping they'd land one in the first round, although now it seems like they might have to take an OL

"• The second question is what happened with Tunsil that made him expendable.

Tunsil, to be clear, is well-liked in the Texans’ building. That said, he isn’t a tone-setter, and the offensive line room in Houston last year went the wrong way, becoming borderline toxic, which adds context to the trade of Kenyon Green and the release of Shaq Mason. That’s part of why the Texans figured they probably wouldn’t give him a third top-of-the-market extension in 2026 after having paid him in ’20 (three years, $66 million) and again in ’23 (three years, $75 million).

So with his 31st birthday in August, Houston spent the past few weeks quietly measuring trade interest in Tunsil, and eventually found the right deal—the price they received for the 10-year vet is roughly the equivalent of a late first-round pick in the form of the aforementioned swap of the tackle and a fourth-round pick for a third- and seventh- round selections this year, and second- and fourth-rounders in ’26.

That gives them resources to find Tunsil’s replacement, if it’s not someone on the roster such as Tytus Howard or Blake Fisher. Will they be able to get a suitable one? How this trade looks in five years rides on it.

And while we’re on the big picture, there’s an element of that in this move for the Texans. DeMeco Ryans has kind of makeup he wants on his defense now, with young stars such as Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr. carrying the flag. He’s still trying to find it on offense, and the hope is turning over the roster some on that side—and finding new leaders—helps.

That, by the way, doesn’t mean the Commanders are barking up the wrong tree here. Just as the Texans are betting on their ability to find new pieces for their line, Washington is gambling on its culture with this move, and that putting Tunsil in a group with guys such as Daniels and McLaurin will get the best out of him. Remember, the sorts of questions that exist here on Tunsil were once there on Trent Williams. Peters was part of the group that landed him as a result in San Francisco five years ago, and we know how that turned out."

They already have about a dozen WRs rostered, including a bunch of guys who can play slot. I think they'll pass on him and use the money elsewhere. If they hadn't traded for Kirk, it'd make more sense

NE cut their long time starting center who only played four games last year due to a shoulder injury. Houston's new OL coach and OC both have coached him. There's a chance his shoulder is just totaled, but Houston should kick the tires here. Getting an experienced center would help solve a lot of issues

Houston traded a 2025 6th rounder for Ed Ingram, who's been graded out as one of the worst pass blocking OGs in the league. He's dirt cheap though

The #49ers are signing LS Jon weeks to a one-year deal, according to @AaronWilson_NFL 

End of an era 💔

Texans restructured Kirk’s contract by adding some void years and converting most of his salary to a signing bonus, creating $12M in cap space.

How many OL do we end up drafting?

 Think two in our first four picks (maybe even two in our first two picks), and who knows after that

At this point must take two of first four, and they both must hit and play year 1. One has to be a starter. Not ideal, but doable. It is still possible to get a starter as draft approaches, I have to imagine we're going to be actively after it, as Scenario A above is not ideal, but doable.

The top has been blown off the DB market. Sources say #Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr. is the NFL’s new highest paid DB. 

Stingley has agreed to terms on a 3-year, $90M deal — $30M per year. The deal done by David Mulugheta of @AthletesFirst includes a whopping $89M guaranteed.

Caserio is crafty there only guaranteeing $89 of the $90M 😂

Assuming this means he plays 2025 and 2026 under his rookie deal, given only 3 years but virtually 100% guaranteed…

I assume if Lassiter stays on his current track, he’s going to want something in the ballpark of Stingley’s deal. It would be very difficult to keep both.

The 2026 year is the 5th year option, fwiw 

The new guarantees are $64M right? So not fully guaranteed

Still have a few years  to figure that out.

Idk. That would make sense but I haven’t seen any verbiage to indicate such.

If they are by the time KL is up for an extension that’s a good problem to have…

 

Here’s some of Caserio’s draft picks, pretty sure nearly every team would trade their picks for these

Nico Collins (89) Brevin Jordan (147) Derek Stingley Jr. (3) Kenyon Green (15) Jalen Pitre (37) Christian Harris (75) CJ Stroud (2) Will Anderson Jr. (3) Juice Scruggs (62) Tank Dell (69) Henry To’oTo’o (167) Jarrett Patterson (201) Kamari Lassiter (42) Calen Bullock (78) Cade Stover (123)

Which he somehow turned into Gardner-Johnson. I still can’t wrap my head around that one.

texans recent string of draft picks has been damn impressive. it all needs to roll into a super bowl W

I know the dream is that Banks falls to us but I’m not confident that it happens. I’ve seen a lot of mocks that have us taking Josh Simmons, OT from tOSU. He very could have been the #1 lineman if he hadn’t torn his patellar tendon midway through last season. All reports are that recovery is going well and should be ready by training camp.
