The Washington Commanders signed offensive left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a two-year, $60.2 million extension on Monday as the NFL free agency period opened, according to multiple reports.

The deal will keep the cornerstone offensive lineman in the District through the 2028 season. Tunsil was initially scheduled to become a free agent after the 2026 campaign.

The Commanders traded for Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowler, last offseason. Washington general manager Adam Peters sent a hefty trade package to the Houston Texans that included four total draft selections: second, third, fourth and seventh round picks across the 2025 and 2026 drafts.



In his first season as a Commander, Tunsil started 14 games at left tackle. He was widely considered the standout on Washington’s offensive line before an oblique injury prematurely ended his season in December.
