The Washington Commanders solidified their offensive line with yet another aggressive trade, acquiring five-time Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
According to sources, Washington will send four picks to Houston for Tunsil: third- and seventh-rounders in 2025 and second- and fourth-rounders in 2026. The Commanders also will receive a fourth-round pick this spring from Houston.
It's the second major trade Washington has made this offseason: The Commanders landed receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. from the San Francisco 49ers for a fifth-round pick March 1.
But Washington entered the offseason wanting to find a prominent left tackle -- it was monitoring Ronnie Stanley before he agreed to terms this weekend to re-sign with the Baltimore Ravens. Brandon Coleman, a third-round pick last spring, started 15 games at left tackle for Washington, including all three in the postseason.
However, by landing Tunsil, they can shift Coleman to right tackle or guard.
Tunsil, who has made the past three Pro Bowls, becomes Washington's most accomplished offensive lineman. Bolstering the line had been a priority for the Commanders, allowing them to protect quarterback Jayden Daniels better -- and to help improve their overall run blocking.
Tunsil signed a three-year extension worth up to $75 million two years ago. He still has two years remaining and will count $21.35 million against the salary cap each season.
It's the second time Tunsil has been traded. Miami, which drafted him 13th overall in 2016, sent Tunsil to Houston in a larger package that included three draft picks going back to the Dolphins -- two firsts and a second.
Tunsil was 10th among offensive tackles in pass block win rate last season, according to TruMedia.
