"The Washington Commanders sensed an opportunity. General manager Adam Peters had to pay a premium for left tackle Laremy Tunsil, but after just one season with the club, it already looks like one of his best investments since taking charge of the franchise. The Houston Texans thought they could cope without Tunsil, one of the league's most accomplished blindside enforcers. But almost a year since the transaction came to light, it's looking more lopsided than ever."
"Washington didn't reach lofty expectations, but Tunsil was phenomenal. His pass protection was elite, and the run blocking dominance caught everyone by surprise. The Commanders instantly solved one of their most glaring flaws, even if the team struggled overall. As for the Texans? They made the playoffs on the back of their exceptional defense. But when it came to the crunch, Houston's offensive line crumbled, and quarterback C.J. Stroud suffered greatly."
Washington acquired left tackle Laremy Tunsil after general manager Adam Peters paid a premium, and Tunsil delivered elite pass protection and unexpectedly dominant run blocking in his first season. The addition solved a major offensive-line weakness for Washington despite the team's broader struggles. The Texans, meanwhile, reached the playoffs largely on defense but suffered a collapsing offensive line in critical moments that harmed rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Speculation surfaced about Stroud's future before free agency, but local beat reporters quickly rejected trade rumors. The Tunsil trade increasingly appears lopsided in favor of Washington.
