Around the league transactions have dominated the headlines leading into Thursday night’s opener. The biggest moves include Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot ending his holdout and signing a record-breaking contract with America’s Team, defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney moving from the Houston Texans to the Seattle Seahawks, offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil heading from the Miami Dolphins to the Houston Texans, and Los Angeles Rams quarterback signing a four-year extension to stay with the defending NFC champions.

Former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum said the Texans gave left tackle Laremy Tunsil “historic leverage” in contract negotiations by trading for him without extending his contract:
The #Texans traded for #Dolphins LT Laremy Tunsil and while Tunsil is a "premium" left tackle, @RealTannenbaum explains why this isn't a deal worth pursuing without locking Tunsil up to a contract extension.
"[Tunsil] has historic leverage."
