Texans Reportedly Acquire Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills From Dolphins in Blockbuster Deal
By Sean Facey
It seems that Laremy Tunsil is getting traded to the Texans after all, but he's not the only major player leaving the Dolphins.
In an absolute bombshell deal, the Texans are set to send a massive haul of picks to Miami in exchange for Tunsil and outspoken wide receiver Kenny Stills, according to Ian Rapoport.
And yes, the terms of this deal are...nonsensical.
The acquisition of Tunsil makes sense considering the major concerns surrounding the offensive line in Houston. He'll help establish a firm presence for them in the trenches after last year's group struggled.
The inclusion of Stills, however, is intriguing. The Texans are notably strong at wide receiver, making the entire acquisition just a bit odd. It's no stunner he's out of Miami, however.
Stills clashed openly both with the media and head coach Brian Flores on a number of issues during preseason, chief among them being the importance of kneeling in the league and whether or not Jay-Z's partnership with the NFL was problematic.
Flores maintained that things between him and Stills were on the up and up, but the fact that he's now set to don a new uniform at the start of the season asks a lot of questions about whether the head coach harbored any ill-will towards him over the Stephen Ross-centric debacle.
There's still plenty to learn about the details of this trade.
