SCBills Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Just now, Ya Digg? said: So maybe I have been under a rock, but is there a legit source saying the chiefs are interested? Or is all of this just because he’s a receiver and Bills fans are scared of any move the Chiefs make? Chiefs have been floated re: Hopkins, but no idea if there’s any smoke there. Chiefs were at OBJ’s workout, so they’re at least open to adding a WR. 1 Quote

Keep a very LT for two years with a rookie QB. Good idea. I look forward to seeing the contract structure. Depends on the structure. If it's a fully guaranteed $30 million signing bonus it would be a $10 million cap hit to cut him in year 3. UPDATE: Just updated the terms that I found...it's actually $50 million fully guaranteed and $30 million signing bonus with $60 million in total guarantees($10 million injury only likely). I doubt he will get cut at all, wouldn't make any sense Edited March 19, 2023 by Big Turk 1 Quote

This was an overpay from Houston, but they’ll atleast have a solid OT to watch their rookie QB’s blindside Agreed. I think it is clear that whether you are an elite LT or a pretty competent one, you are getting paid a lot. Quote

Holy crap...guess they needed to clear Cooks off their books(I know you liked the rhyming skills 😂) to extend Tunstill, as those happened pretty quickly in succession. That's crazy money for an OT Good lord! Is "Gas Mask Guy" Tunsil that good? Edited March 19, 2023 by Beck Water Quote
without a drought Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 He was under contract for 2023, so it's a 3 year extension. Have to wait for the details to see what this really means, besides being a lot of money for a team without a qb. Quote

This was an overpay from Houston, but they’ll atleast have a solid OT to watch their rookie QB’s blindside I think he is probably the best under the age of 30. Bhaktiari and Trent Williams are the two you'd definitely have above him but are older. Then it is Tunsil and Stanley from the same class but Stanley was not himself after almost 2 years out. This is probably the market until Slater and Sewell come up. Andrew Thomas will go big but I don't think he goes that big. It's Houston. They are barely paying anyone. He is their 1 elite player. If you are not gonna pay your only elite guy then WTF are you doing? Edited March 19, 2023 by GunnerBill 4 1 Quote

DrDawkinstein Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Teams have to spend a certain amount every year to get over the salary floor, and they dont have anyone else to spend the money on. Another case of a low-talent team skewing the numbers across the rest of the league by throwing a ton of cash at their one good player. Good for Laremy. He's done both deals with the Texans himself, no agent. But he 1. Had a ton of leverage the first time, and 2. Understands what a great deal is without having to push for more (take notes, Lamar!).

Epstein's Mother Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 11 wins in the last 3 seasons combined. Good for him. Quote
Charles Romes Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Makes the Bengals locking down the LT position at a reasonable price even more gut wrenching. Quote

Not a bad move...definitely gives them an element they thought Gallup would give them last year but didn't. This could mean they are out on the OBJ sweepstakes. There only so much $ in the pie. Quote

Tennessee won't pay Henry's new deal in 24 and neither will most teams, it's outrageous. So some team gets a one year rental player, was only kidding about the Bills. Von Miller's deal pretty much destroyed that idea Quote
