The Houston Texans are looking to sign tackle Laremy Tunsil to a long-term contract extension, but after Tunsil fired his agent last week many fans are wondering if there's a reason the two sides haven't been able to get a deal done.
ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Raheel Ramzanali, and Lance Zierlein discuss if failing to get a long-term deal done with Tunsil should be a fireable offense.
Jalen Green scored 22 points, Dillon Brooks added 21 and the Houston Rockets beat the Utah Jazz 143-105 on Wednesday night for their 50th win of the season.

Isaiah Collier had 22 points and 10 assists, Collin Sexton finished with 18 points and Keyonte George had 14 points, for the Jazz, who lost their seventh straight game. Walker Kessler added 11 points and 12 rebounds. Utah shot 43% and were 10 of 40 on 3-pointers.
Brooks was issued a technical foul with seven minutes left in the first quarter after appearing to kick Sexton in the groin on a loose ball. If the technical is not rescinded, it would be Brooks’ 16th of the season, and he would be suspended for the Rockets’ game Friday night against Oklahoma City.
Houston's Fred VanVleet missed the game with soreness in his knee and right ankle.
Jazz: Utah dropped to 1-17 since the end of February.
5️⃣0️⃣ WINS.
