Aaron Wilson

@AaronWilson_NFL

Texans cutting offensive lineman Martinas Rankin, a former third-round draft pick, according to a league source. Rankin showed a lot of potential, starting games at left tackle and guard as a rookie. Tough player with lot of upside. Expected to be popular on waivers

Another surprise in Seattle: The #Seahawks are releasing veteran CB Jamar Taylor, source said. He'd been the frontrunner for the nickel job for much of camp. Now a free agent.

@RapSheet
Blockbuster: The #Dolphins are trading franchise LT Laremy Tunsil and WR Kenny Stills to the #Texans in exchange for a huge package of picks, including a first-rounder, sources tell me, @MikeGarafolo, and @TomPelissero. The moves are contingent on players passing physicals.

HOU think theyre one OL and wr away from winning or something?

 

[allblackraven]

Texans just had a blockbuster trade with the Dolphins that includes high picks Tunsil and Kenny Stills among others.

Really?

 

[RavensMania]

Lol DeCosta gotta call O'Brien. Hopkins might be available for a 2nd, Skura and Roberts

they certainly need picks now

 

[RavensMania]

Really?

when I saw yours I deleted mine.

This is a strange NFL world. How does Clowney go for less than Tunsil and Stills? Clowney should have went for as much as Mack did last year but undersold themselves.

I guess GM Bill O'Brien cleared this with Head Coach Bill O'Brien. Some major trades happening, and Melvin Gordon could be traded too? This season is already exciting and we haven't played meaningful games yet.

According to Rap Sheet the Chiefs, Patriots, Chargers and Eagles are inquiring about Bills RB Lesean McCoy.

Clowney probably went for so little because Clowney could dictate where he would go. They need him to sign the tag to trade him.

 

[redrum52]

I get it. They see Luck retire a week ago and realize how crucial it is to protect him now.

JJ Watt @JJWatt
Kid on the golf course just broke news to me about my own team.

He doesn't sound too pleased.

Tbh clowney isnt all that. Id take him over here but to play along side watt and still never reach double digit sacks, he shouldnt worth a 1st

He was just as good without Watt as he was with him and the numbers back that up.

 

[Willbacker]

Miami is going all in for Tua. Plenty of draft captal to move up to #1 position now but who's going to protect him lol
