"Tunsil, who had one year left on his contract, will receive $60.2 million with $61.5 million in guarantees, with a signing bonus of $32.5 million -- the highest bonus ever at his position, and he becomes the first offensive lineman to receive $30 million per season."
"Washington traded for Tunsil last offseason, sending two picks in last year's draft (third and seventh round) as well as two in the upcoming draft (second and fourth round). The Commanders also received a fourth-round pick last April."
"After the season Commanders general manager Adam Peters called Tunsil one of the best - if not the best - tackles in the NFL and recently expressed optimism an extension would get done "sooner rather than later.""
The Washington Commanders secured a two-year contract extension with left tackle Laremy Tunsil, avoiding a prolonged negotiation. Tunsil receives $60.2 million with $61.5 million in guarantees and a $32.5 million signing bonus—the highest ever at his position. He becomes the first offensive lineman to earn $30 million per season. The Commanders acquired Tunsil last offseason through a trade involving four draft picks. General manager Adam Peters previously praised Tunsil as one of the NFL's best tackles. Tunsil was originally drafted by Miami in 2016, traded to Houston in 2019, and made five Pro Bowls with the Texans.
