Laremy Tunsil is on the move. 

The five-time Pro Bowler is headed to the Commanders for a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick in next year’s draft and a third-rounder in this year’s draft, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. 

The Texans are also sending a fourth-round pick as part of the deal.

Tunsil has been characterized as one of the most reliable left tackles in the league and will further boost the Commanders offensive line, which is tasked with protecting star quarterback Jayden Daniels. 

Tunsil has two more years left on his contract that comes with a base salary of $20.95 million for this season and the same amount for the 2026 season.

The offensive tackle started all 17 games last season with Houston and earned his third consecutive Pro Bowl nod for his efforts. 

Tunsil will turn 31 in August and will be on the third team of his career. 

He spent the first three years in the NFL with Miami before he was dealt to Houston in August 2019.

The Commanders have been working to help improve the team around the 2024 Rookie of the Year via the trade market. 

Earlier this month they traded for wide receiver Deebo Samuel in a blockbuster move with the 49ers.
