In a survey of 29 Commanders players, left tackle Laremy Tunsil received 11.5 out of 29 votes when asked which teammate deserved Pro Bowl recognition in 2025. This strong endorsement from the locker room comes as the Commanders' front office, led by GM Adam Peters, looks to sign Tunsil to a contract extension before his current deal expires.

Why it matters

Tunsil's standout 2025 season, in which he allowed just 11 hurries and 2 sacks, has made him a priority for the Commanders to retain. The overwhelming support from his teammates underscores his value and the importance of the team locking him up long-term, especially after he was snubbed for the Pro Bowl despite his elite performance.

The details

Tunsil, a 2016 first-round pick by the Dolphins, is entering the final year of a 3-year, $75 million extension he signed with the Texans. He is set to earn $20.95 million in salary with a $24.9 million cap hit in 2026. Commanders GM Adam Peters has made it clear the team wants to get a new deal done with Tunsil "sooner rather than later." In the end-of-season player survey, Tunsil received nearly triple the votes of the next closest teammate, Bobby Wagner, highlighting his standout 2025 campaign.

  • Tunsil is entering the final year of his current contract in 2026.
  • The Commanders' end-of-season player survey was conducted in the final stretch of the 2025 season.

What they’re saying

“Incredibly hard worker, and then on the field, I thought [Laremy] was one of the better left tackles, if not the best in the league. He didn't get recognition for the Pro Bowl, which I was disappointed in, but if you look at the metrics, he did a great job.”

The Commanders must now work to sign Laremy Tunsil to a contract extension before his current deal expires after the 2026 season.

The takeaway

Laremy Tunsil's standout 2025 season and overwhelming support from his Commanders teammates underscores his value as a premier left tackle in the NFL. The Commanders' front office must now prioritize locking up Tunsil long-term to keep their offensive line anchored and protect their investment.
