Texans’ Laremy Tunsil undergoes surgery, fires agents

Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil is looking for a new contract, and he’s also recovering from a significant injury. Tunsil recently underwent shoulder surgery for a torn labrum, sources told Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. We heard last week that Tunsil and the Texans had begun preliminary talks on an extension at the combine, and that he was seeking around $20M annually. Sources also told Wilson that Tunsil fired his agents at CAA, and is now weighing his options. He’s apparently considering operating as his own agent like fellow left tackle Russell Okung has, and also is considering signing with the NFL division of NBA super-agent Rich Paul’s Klutch Sports. The meeting at the combine came with CAA people before Tunsil fired his agents Wilson reports, so it sounds like things are back to square one.
