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.

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.
