The Washington Commanders have made a game-changing move by acquiring five-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans. Commanders get a 2025 Fourth-round pick along with Tunsil while the Texans receives a 2025 Third-round pick, 2025 Seventh-round pick, 2026 Second-round pick and 2026 Fourth-round pick.

During his tenure in Houston, Tunsil consistently proved his worth as a dominant force on the offensive line. Tasked with neutralizing elite pass rushers, he demonstrated impeccable technique and earned recognition as one of the league’s premier blindside protectors. His ability to keep quarterbacks upright while creating opportunities for the running game cemented his reputation as one of the most valuable assets in the league.

Now, as a member of the Commanders, Tunsil steps into a pivotal role. His primary responsibility will be safeguarding Jayden Daniels, whose dual-threat abilities place a premium on effective blocking schemes. With Tunsil anchoring the line, Daniels should get the stability he needs to maximize his electrifying potential as both a passer and runner.

For Washington, this trade symbolizes a bold commitment to building a competitive roster. After struggling with offensive consistency in recent years, the acquisition of a generational talent like Tunsil signals a win-now mentality. His veteran leadership and on-field expertise promise to elevate the Commanders’ offensive line to new heights, providing a foundation for sustained success.
