The Houston Texans' recent trade of Pro Bowl offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders has sparked frustration among fans. However, NFL insider Albert Breer suggests that the move is part of a larger strategy to reshape the team's culture and roster.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is aiming to overhaul the locker room atmosphere after consecutive 10-7 seasons. By parting ways with Tunsil and offensive lineman Kenyon Green, the Texans are freeing up cap space to improve their roster through free agency and the draft.

Ryans believes that the current offensive line culture contributed to the team's struggles, and while Tunsil was well-liked, he lacked the leadership to turn things around. The Texans aim to avoid a repeat of last season's 54 sacks by incorporating new talent, including potential draft picks as they move towards a more competitive future.
