Commanders' Laremy Tunsil trade theft looks even better now it's finalized

"The Commanders got exactly what they expected and more from Tunsil. He was a revelation, providing elite-level pass blocking and a crushing presence against the run."

"Peters gave up third and seventh-round selections in 2025, coupled with second and fourth rounders in 2026, in exchange for Tunsil and a fourth-rounder last year."

"Now that the picks have been made, the Commanders look even better. The Texans' return from the trade has not matched Tunsil's impact."

Adam Peters' recruitment for 2025 faced challenges, but trading for Laremy Tunsil proved to be a successful move for the Washington Commanders. Tunsil delivered elite pass blocking and run protection, mentoring rookie Josh Conerly Jr. His performance, though not recognized with All-Pro honors, was exceptional. The Commanders' investment in Tunsil, including multiple draft picks, has paid off, especially as the Texans' return from the trade has not matched Tunsil's impact. Additionally, the Commanders utilized a fourth-round pick from the trade to select wide receiver Jaylin Lane, who has made contributions in the return game.
