Mike in Horseheads Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 23s More specifics on the #Texans extension with LT Laremy Tunsil, who blew up the tackle market: 3 years, $66M with $57.85M guaranteed (more than I initially said) with $40M over the first two years and a $13M signing bonus, per me and @wyche89 .
Mike in Horseheads Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Just crazy money, now Dawkins price tag just went up so is he worth that?

If Tunsil got 22 million a year, Dawkins could easily get 21.5 No clue why the Texans thought they needed to add 5.5 million to the biggest LT contract already in the NFL. Really screwed a lot of other teams by setting the market that high. Edited April 24, 2020 by thenorthremembers 1

It's hard to play hard ball with your players but its like - Dawkins... You are not top 5, or even top 10 really at your position. Why should i make you the highest paid? 1
Doc Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 All but $8M guaranteed? Good luck with that. 3 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: Wish I could say he wont get that much money, but he isn't far off from the player Tunsil is.

ghostwriter Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Okay @Lurker, you killed me with that, good job! HAHAHA!
JimKellyTryouts Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Reading into this more, he was his own agent in this? He had all the negotiating power after BOB gave up so much to get him, and now he gets to cash in with yet another large contract, seeing that he will only be 28 at the end of this... 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I would be pissed if we paid Dawkins a 15 mil a year average. Dawkins is NOT a top 15 LT and probably shouldn’t even be playing the position. 3 1
QB Bills Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Isn't this the gas mask guy? Amazing how some of the dumbest people out there are making this much money. Good for him though.

There was no reason to pay him 30% more than what Castonzo just got when he is a lesser player, and if you want to argue age, he is getting 2% more on the cap than Lewan got in 2018. It was a stupid move by a stupid team. 1 1

He is younger, and easily better than these top 15 paid Left Tackles below. Reiff Duane Brown Okung Donovan Smith DJ Humphries Solder The guy is going to get paid 16 million a year or more easy, and the dumb Texans really just made a mess for the Bills.
