Overview

  • The Houston Texans traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders in exchange for four draft picks across the 2025 and 2026 NFL drafts.
  • Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowler, has been a key player for Houston's offensive line but was part of a unit that allowed the third-most sacks in the 2024 season.
  • The Texans now face the challenge of replacing Tunsil, with internal candidates like Tytus Howard and Blake Fisher or options in free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • Washington acquires Tunsil to bolster protection for quarterback Jayden Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, as part of their offseason strategy.
  • The trade provides Houston with additional draft capital but raises concerns about the immediate impact on their offensive line and quarterback C.J. Stroud's protection.
