Kenny Stills on Texans LT Laremy Tunsil’s contract extension: ‘Pay up’

Receiver Kenny Stills commented on Twitter that the Houston Texans should “pay up” and give left tackle Laremy Tunsil a contract extension.

Kenny Stills isn’t shy about what course of action the Houston Texans should take when it comes to extending left tackle Laremy Tunsil.

On Saturday, Stills, who has been a teammate of Tunsil’s going back to their playing days with the Miami Dolphins in 2016, tweeted a comment regarding an article on Tunsil’s rumored asking price of $19 million and $20 million.

“Pay up!!!!” Still wrote.

Tunsil was instrumental in keeping quarterback Deshaun Watson upright and helping the former 2017 first-round pick earn his second straight Pro Bowl selection. Additionally, Tunsil earned his first Pro Bowl nod in his first season with the Texans.

Miami drafted Tunsil with their first-round pick in 2016 from Ole Miss. The Dolphins anticipated a rough season under rookie coach Brian Flores and chose to be sellers in preseason with Tunsil and Stills part of a trade on Aug. 31, 2019, that sent the two to the Texans.

Stills has seen the quality of work Tunsil has produced since he entered the league. Now, Stills wants to see the 6-5, 313-pound blindside protector get his just reward on his second NFL contract.
