Overview
- The Commanders signed left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a two-year, $60.2 million extension that includes record-level guarantees and a league-leading signing bonus for an offensive lineman.
- ESPN ranked Tunsil No. 5 among NFL tackles in a vote of executives, coaches and scouts, reflecting broad peer recognition this preseason.
- Tunsil's 2025 tape supports the praise because he allowed four sacks in 393 pass-blocking chances, posted a 91.5% pass-block win rate and earned an 84.7 Pro Football Focus grade.
- Right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. started every game as a 2025 rookie, showed clear late-season improvement and reported offseason body and technique work that the team says should boost his play in 2026.
- Despite the individual upside, several outlets ranked Washington's offensive line low after the team's 5-12 2025 finish and some lists omitted the Tunsil–Conerly pairing, a split that could change if the duo stays healthy and performs together this season.
