Laremy Tunsil extension comes with hidden Commanders benefit already turning heads

The Washington Commanders didn't want to drag things out with left tackle Laremy Tunsil's contract extension. General manager Adam Peters got burned by his stance on wide receiver Terry McLaurin last summer, and he wasn't going to make the same mistake again.

Tunsil now has the highest annual average salary of any offensive tackle in NFL history, and it's well deserved. His on-field production was elite as all around him seemingly crumbled. The trade to acquire the Ole Miss product was a home run. Now, he'll be around in Washington until 2029.
