The Houston Texans paid Laremy Tunsil to ensure he has become the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history ahead of likely drafting a quarterback next month.
Houston have signed Tunsil - who joined the Texans via trade in 2019 from the Miami Dolphins - to a three-year extension worth $75million that includes $50m in fully guaranteed money. The deal is reportedly worth up to $60m in total guarantees.
The deal makes Tunsil the highest-paid tackle in league history once again after he set the market for offensive lineman back in 2020 with the Texans. According to Ian Rapoport, the three-time Pro Bowler represented himself in the negotiations en route to resetting the market for his position once more.
