Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters had a long to-do list this offseason. One week into free agency, Peters has checked off a lot of those boxes. Perhaps the most important move of this offseason was getting a contract extension done with five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
The Commanders agreed to a two-year extension with Tunsil last week, worth $60.2 million. Tunsil became the first offensive lineman to reach $30 million in average annual value. Resetting the offensive tackle market is nothing new for Tunsil, who was also the first player to reach $20 million per year and again, the first offensive lineman to average $25 million per season.
So, what does Tunsil's new deal look like?
Over the Cap has details on Tunsil's new deal:
Tunsil was scheduled to count over $24 million against Washington's salary cap. Now, he's due to count only $11.9 million in 2026. The Commanders added voidable years at the end of Tunsil's extension to lower cap hits. Here is a breakdown of each season.
If Tunsil continues playing at his current level, you can bet both sides will head back to the bargaining table before the 2028 season. The Commanders now have Tunsil under contract for the next three seasons, through his age 34 season.
