Texans Trade Pro Bowl Tackle Laremy Tunsil to Commanders for Draft Picks

The move leaves Houston searching for a replacement while Washington secures protection for quarterback Jayden Daniels.

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.
