Dolphins' Brian Flores insists he isn't tanking after trading Laremy Tunsil, Kenny Stills to Texans

The jarring trade of offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Kenny Stills to the Texans sent shockwaves around the NFL and inside the Miami Dolphins and Texans' locker rooms.

The Dolphins got a lot back in return from the Texans, an exorbitant draft haul that includes 2020 and 2021 first-round draft picks, a 2021 second-round pick in exchange for offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport, special-teams ace Johnson Bademosi and fourth-round and sixth-round picks.

Dolphins coach Brian Flores insisted Sunday during a press conference in Miami that the team is trying to win, but the draft compensation was too overwhelming to turn down.
