Interesting strategy by the Texans. Seems they might be thinking he had a great year 1 and a sophomore slump. Let’s see if he can be “the guy” year 3 without a stacked roster. If he is, they pay him record contract, if he’s mid they get leverage to negotiate a smaller deal then have money to go do more on the OL later 

these are some very strange moves to say the least.

they canned his OC, traded the left side of his OL...it's giving me "let's sandbag this guy so his deal is lower" vibes

I think a lot came out about Tunsil and the Texans. Apparently he wasn't the lockeroom guy they expected him to be or something like that. I didn't really read up on it, but they got a pretty good haul of picks to rebuild that OL and get much younger in that regard. Expect mocks to have Texans taking OL. They may have 5 Day 1-Day 2 picks now, not completely sure.

Texans giving away their entire OL?  Weird

Unless they have a grand master plan, this is complete malpractice on how to handle a young franchise QB. Stroud already "regressed" in Year 2...now you take his OL away? 

That dude is about to see ghosts like Year One Bryce if they don't find answers real quick.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
