The Washington Commanders avoided another prolonged contract situation by agreeing to a two-year extension with left tackle Laremy Tunsil, his business manager, Laolu Sanni of Divine Tree, told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Tunsil, who had one year left on his contract, will receive $60.2 million with $61.5 million in guarantees, with a signing bonus of $32.5 million -- the highest bonus ever at his position, and he becomes the first offensive lineman to receive $30 million per season.
Washington traded for Tunsil last offseason, sending two picks in last year's draft (third and seventh round) as well as two in the upcoming draft (second and fourth round). The Commanders also received a fourth-round pick last April.
After the season, Commanders general manager Adam Peters called Tunsil one of the best -- if not the best -- tackles in the NFL and recently expressed optimism an extension would get done "sooner rather than later."
Last season, Washington receiver Terry McLaurin held in during training camp while an extension was reached. He missed all of training camp after missing their voluntary organized team activity practices and the mandatory minicamp.
Miami drafted Tunsil with the 13th pick in 2016 and traded him to Houston in 2019. He made five Pro Bowls with the Texans.
