The Washington Commanders are taking significant steps to capitalize on their recent playoff success by acquiring Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans. The trade reflects their urgency to build a championship-contending team around rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. This move, along with earlier trades for receiver Deebo Samuel and cornerback Marshon Lattimore, highlights their strategy of trading draft picks for proven talent as they aim for their first Super Bowl since 1991.
For Tunsil, they sent two picks in 2025 (in the third and seventh rounds) and two in 2026 (in the second and fourth rounds) -- solid draft capital from an organization that has said it wants to build through the draft, though it helps that they had nine selections a year ago to pair with five picks (for now) next month.
Washington's window to win its first title since the 1991 season is officially open, and they are trying to take advantage.
