Texans make Tunsil the highest paid OL

Not my money and I'm glad we re-signed him...just wish it was done when we had more leverage (at the time of the trade)...

HOUSTON -- The Texans are finalizing a three-year, $66 million contract extension with left tackle Laremy Tunsil, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The new deal makes Tunsil the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL and includes $50 million guaranteed.

The news of the deal that averages $22 million per year was first reported by the Houston Chronicle. With his new contract, Tunsil surpasses the $18 million per year that Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson earned when he signed his contract in 2019.

My ESPN app just pushed this to my phone, and danged if it wasn't already here. Good job Bickrack

Tunsil had an advisor I suppose, but didn't really have any representation, so added bonus for him.

Seems like a very smart deal for him too since he could take advantage of another lucrative extension before turning 30.

Oh, and I am less concerned about how expensive it is for the Texans considering all the money saved not paying Clowney and Hopkins.
