Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil has shaken up his representation.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Pro Bowl left tackle has fired his agency, Creative Artists Agency, on Tuesday. The move comes after reports have surfaced that Tunsil seeks to be the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL.
Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil has fired his agency, CAA, which had represented him since the Dolphins selected him in the first round in 2016. Tunsil is in process of selecting new representation per league sources. He's expected to become highest paid tackle this offseason

2020 will be the final season for Tunsil, who the Texans traded two first round picks and a 2021 second-round pick to obtain from the Miami Dolphins. There is no reason for Houston to have spent all of that draft capital to not retain Tunsil.
The Dolphins picked up Tunsil’s fifth-year option, and he will count over $10 million on the Texans’ salary cap in 2020. If the Texans are able to extend Tunsil, it would help add more cap space, even though Houston has the ninth-most salary cap space in the NFL at $61.3 million.
