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.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
