The Washington Commanders brought in a new anchor at left tackle, acquiring five-time Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans on Monday, multiple reports said.

According to NFL Network, the Commanders are sending a 2025 third-round draft pick and second- and fourth-rounders in 2026 to Houston to acquire Tunsil and a fourth-round pick.

Tunsil, 30, was a first-round choice by the Miami Dolphins in 2016 but fully blossomed after being traded to the Texans ahead of the 2019 season. In six seasons with the Texans, the only year Tunsil wasn't named to the Pro Bowl was 2021, when thumb surgery cut his season short after five games.

Tunsil has made 125 starts in his nine-year NFL career and did not miss a game in 2024. He also has seven playoff starts to his name.

The Commanders, coming off their first NFC Championship Game appearance since 1991, have added wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers as well as Tunsil via trades.
