Like what? That he might have a shitty personality? Everything else is accounted for.

The part of the trade that's contingent on medical is immediate access to those records, and the guy has to be in pretty remarkable condition to have played as consistently as he has, the busted thumb year notwithstanding. These dudes get full imaging every time they get a hangnail, and they have access to all of it.

He can't have a secret criminal record or anything like that unless it's juvenile, so that's not a thing.

The draft thing with the weed and gas mask? We don't care about weed if a guy plays like he does, and football players being knuckleheads is par for the course.

So what COULD they know that has you concerned?

I didn’t say I was concerned, just wondering why they cut bait on their only seemingly good OL when they’re in the same boat as us in needing to protect a young star QB.

OL age the best after QB. But, he's from the same draft as Ronnie Stanley and he is 31. Not old by OT standards. Tunsil got a new deal when he arrived to Hou from Miami. Got another contract in 2023. Guessing, this is also a contract issue as he's likely due up for a new deal now. Has $10 mill guaranteed currently, but once game 1 comes, his base salary for the full $20 mill will become guaranteed for 2025.

No guaranteed money for 2026. Guess Houston didn't want to pay him for another contract despite how much teams need good LT.

'xactly. Plus, you know what he did after the weed/gas mask thing? Was named All Pro 5 times. That draft thing officially No Longer Matters.

HOU is back in the WTF Are They Doing?! Club. After having a terrific draft and trade season in '23, they've reverted immediately back to their typical Houstolinian nonsense.

The only question is whether this all some twisted plan to get their young, stud QB killed before they have to give him a big, fat contract extension? Hard to figure any other logic to answering the question, "How do fix this god-forsaken OL" with "Trade our only good OLineman."

Ties to the staff.

This feels like trying to lure Gallup out of retirement on a cheapish deal and a "putting the band back together" favor to fill a gap, or something. Never thought he was all that, so any contract needs to be modest.

yeah, it's at most a "fill one of the holes from the 4-5 guys who left" and probably more of a "camp-invite to see if he has anything at all to offer."

Yep that was one of my scenarios I mentioned. They didn’t intend on resigning him after this coming year, so they moved him instead. Interesting choice.
