"Adam Peters learns from his mistake to get Laremy Tunsil's extension done early. Tunsil didn't qualify for his sixth Pro Bowl last season, as he should have, but Peters' swing for him was one of the few Commanders 2025 offseason transactions that panned out. Washington got an elite tackle in the prime of his career, and he was rock-solid."
"Still, given the treasure chest of draft picks the Commanders had to give up, the trade for Tunsil was only going to be a victory if he became a long-term piece. Now, that has been solidified: he still has a year remaining on his current contract, and then he'll be around for two more."
"Tunsil will be 32 in August, but offensive linemen don't age as quickly as most other NFL positions. He could be a quality contributor into his late 30s. He's also been durable throughout his career, with only one season (2021) in which he missed more than three games."
The Washington Commanders completed several offseason signings including edge rusher Odafe Oweh, cornerback Amik Robertson, and defensive lineman Tim Settle. However, the most significant move involved extending existing player Laremy Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowler, on a two-year deal worth over $60 million. This proactive extension by general manager Adam Peters avoided repeating last year's contract dispute with Terry McLaurin. Tunsil, who will be 32 in August, remains in his prime for an offensive lineman and has demonstrated durability throughout his career. His extension ensures continued protection for quarterback Jayden Daniels and provides veteran leadership to the offensive line.
