Most Likely Trade Destinations for Laremy Tunsil

When you're one of the least talented teams in the NFL, the logical next step is to trade your 25-year-old, franchise left tackle, right? If you're a little confused about the recent reports indicating the Miami Dolphins could be looking to trade Laremy Tunsil, don't worry, we are too.

However, if the Dolphins do decide to make Tunsil available, there should be no shortage of NFL teams looking to acquire his services. With that in mind, here are the three most likely trade destinations for Tunsil should Miami decide to move on.

3. Cleveland Browns

From top to bottom, the Cleveland Browns might legitimately have the most talented roster in football (on paper). However, for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, the Browns sure do have a lot riding on the play of Greg Robinson. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft was serviceable in 2018, making eight starts during his first year in Cleveland, but he's been a below-average player for the majority of his NFL career. If Cleveland is serious about contending, the Browns likely need an upgrade at left tackle. Acquiring Tunsil could be a boon for the Browns, as he's young enough to fit Baker Mayfield's timeline, and his cap hit of about $3.9 million in 2019 won't take up much of Cleveland's remaining cap space ($33.4 million).

2. Houston Texans

The Houston Texans had the worst offensive line in the NFL last season, and it wasn't particularly close. They allowed a league-high 62 sacks in 2018 (six more than the second-worst team in the NFL), and Deshaun Watson took the brunt of the beating. In fact, Watson suffered such a severe chest injury, he had to take a 12-hour bus ride to Houston's Week 7 game in Jacksonville rather than fly with the team. Given that Watson is the Texans' most important asset, his protection should be of the utmost priority. Houston has $36 million in cap space remaining and should be in the Tunsil sweepstakes if Miami actually makes him available.

1. Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have seemingly had offensive line woes for years. The team tried to address the issue by trading for Duane Brown in 2017, but Seattle still surrendered 51 sacks last year (eighth-worst in the NFL). At 33 years old, the four-time Pro Bowler isn't the player he once was, and Brown hasn't played a full 16-game season since 2014. Trading for Tunsil could finally shore up Seattle's leaky offensive line, and with about $24.9 million remaining in cap space, the Seahawks likely have the resources to facilitate a deal.
