After months of negotiations, Tunsil and the Texans have come to terms on a contract extension that will make him the highest paid OT in the NFL at $22M per year. Philadelphia’s Lane Johnson took that crown at $18M per year prior to Tunsil’s deal.

The former Dolphins 2016 first-round selection out of Ole Miss came to Houston in 2019 in a trade that sent two first-round picks to Miami in exchange for Tunsil and WR Kenny Stills. Tunsil is a beast up-front, and the Texans obviously want to lock him in long-term to maximize the protection for franchise QB Deshaun Watson for years to come.
