I am guessing 15 minutes after Tunsil passes his physical.

As soon as the plane that Tunsil is on lands safely and gets to the gate, Kalil is gone.

Never understood how he can look so promising in college. Look really good as a rookie and now is destined to sell insurance.

He has made a ton of money off of that promising college career and rookie season. I doubt he needs to sell insurance.

Maybe not,  but I heard his pizza places weren't doing so well.

That's 'cause they suck almost as badly as he does.

This is true...I gave it a shot down in Mankato and it was mediocre at best, non-differentiated at all...

I wonder if the doors are turnstiles like him...

I had respect for Matt when he played for the Vikes because I truly believe that injuries ruined his career and despite all the injuries and deteriorating physical abilities, he always played when called upon.  I lost respect when he he blamed the coaching for his poor play.  I guess he did that to get other teams to pay him way more than he was worth.

Texans gave up a kings ransom to Miami. It goes to show how much blind-side protection is valued. Tunsil only 25, has tremendous upside and they have to protect Deshaun.
