That number was $18 million a year for Lane Johnson. Not anymore.
The positives? The three-year-contract is an extension of the contract Tunsil already had in place, so he'll protect Deshaun Watson through the 2023 season. The Texans are also now free to turn their full attention to Watson's mega-contract extension.
Keep this in mind for every move the Texans make -- Bill O'Brien's analytics place a value on every trait for every player and every position on the team. He doesn't think he overpaid for Tunsil. Time will tell.
