The Washington Commanders are acquiring left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans in exchange for a package of picks, sources told Adam Schefter.
Houston lands a third- and seventh-round pick this years 2025 draft and a second- and fourth-round selection in 2026, while the Commanders also get a 2025 fourth-rounder, Tom Pelissero reports.
Tunsil has made five Pro Bowls since being picked 13th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, including three straight. Tunsil has spent the last six years with the Houston Texans after starting his career with the Miami Dolphins.
The 30-year-old allowed just two sacks, three quarterback hits, and 19 pressures en route to an 88.6 pass-blocking grade in 2024, per PFF. However, his 19 penalties were the most among all offensive tackles. Regardless of all of that, Tunsil was by far the best offensive lineman the Texans had.
Tunsil has started all 125 games he’s appeared in, including 17 contests in 2024.
With it now being an official overhaul of the offensive line room and the Texans drafting two young receivers, it will be interesting to see if the Texans can take another step forward this upcoming season. Their biggest issue by far last season was protecting Stroud and recover depth.
