HOUSTON — The Houston Texans are entering an offseason where their roster could experience a significant amount of reconstruction beyond the inevitable departure of Deshaun Watson. And joining the disgruntled quarterback who could be on their way out of Houston is Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
Tunsil, who has two years left on his contract, is set to make a tad over $26.0 million in 2022 — which is not the ideal situation for a team in the early stages of a rebuild. And after sustaining a thumb injury that was slated to take a recovery time of four weeks, Tunsil appeared in five games for the Texans amid their 4-13 campaign.
It’s uncertain what the future has in store for Tunsil, but it appears that general manager Nick Caserio will keep his options open when constructing the Texans’ roster for 2022. Could a trade be over the horizon for one of the best offensive linemen in the league today?
