How Texans' Tunsil saved about $3M negotiating his own contract

HOUSTON -- On the morning of March 19, Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil was surrounded by a few members of his Divine Tree business team inside his condo.

Cameras for Tunsil's video blog "Protect the Tree" rolled as music thundered leading up to a call with Texans general manager Nick Caserio. Then, the room got quiet, and when Caserio answered, everyone was on the edge of their seats.

"We got a deal, Nick," Tunsil said.

The deal -- a three-year, $75 million extension -- made Tunsil the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL for the second time in his career.
