Laremy Tunsil was acquired by the Washington Commanders to protect quarterback Jayden Daniels' blindside. His impact on the team's performance is expected to be significant as he is regarded as one of the best edge protectors in the league. Tunsil's role is considered crucial, second in importance only to Daniels, reflecting the team's strategic commitment to bolster their offensive line. His ability to stabilize the trenches will be vital for the Commanders, especially following a challenging previous season.
"It was tough to choose a player for Washington, which needs to show more improvement on defense than offense. There are so many areas that need work, though, that it's tough to land on just one player as the most important. So instead we came back around to the Commies' biggest (literally) offseason addition in [Laremy] Tunsil, who will be counted on to secure Jayden Daniels in the pocket. He had a relatively tough season in 2024, taking a ton of penalties, but at his best he is still an elite left tackle." - Jared Dubin
"Tunsil's importance to the Commanders cannot be overstated. One NFL analyst believes his role will be more pivotal than anyone besides the team's new franchise-caliber presence under center."
"Acquiring Tunsil via trade from the Houston Texans was the major statement of intent Peters had in mind. He's among the league's best edge protectors, especially on passing downs."
"Tunsil is here to change all that. He's an alpha dog in every sense of the term. Washington."
