Laremy Tunsil

Houston Texans LT Laremy Tunsil has reportedly agreed to restructure his 2021 salary into a $990K base with a $15.16M signing bonus to create $10.11M in cap space for the Texans in 2021, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

Tunsil converted his original base salary for 2021 into a signing bonus worth $15.16 million and will also receive his original $13 million signing bonus prorated across 2022 and 2023. This move allows the Texans to continue pursuing free agents in what appears to be a massive rebuild under new GM Nick Caserio. Regardless of who winds up starting under center for Houston this season, Tunsil's massive presence on the blind-side will certainly be a commodity. More help will be needed through free agency and the draft in order to improve one of the league's worst offensive lines in 2020.

Fantasy Impact

Tunsil was unable to practice this week and has been ruled out for Sunday's game aginst the Titans. His absence only downgrades star QB Deshaun Watson and the Texans offense. RT Roderick Johnson will shift to LT and rookie OL Charlie Heck will draw his first NFL start while Tunsil is sidelined.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a losing season, Tunsil has played pretty well at the left tackle position for Houston in 2020. The fifth-year tackle's expected absence in the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Titans accentuates the Texans' lack of depth on the offensive line. As a result, running back David Johnson and quarterback Deshaun Watson should be downgraded by fantasy managers heading into Week 17.
