Commanders Highlight Two Major Contracts: Tunsil, Oweh

The Washington Commanders capped a busy March with two marquee contracts: a two‑year extension for left tackle Laremy Tunsil, making him the NFL’s first $30M‑per‑year lineman, and a four‑year, $96M deal for edge rusher Odafe Oweh.

Washington’s March free‑agency push culminated in two headline‑making deals. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil signed a two‑year extension that averages $30 million per season, making him the first offensive lineman to earn that figure and setting a new benchmark for the position.

On the defensive side, the Commanders secured edge rusher Odafe Oweh to a four‑year, $96 million contract, a move aimed at bolstering a pass rush that suffered after the loss of Dorance Armstrong. Oweh’s performance, including 7.5 sacks in 12 games last season, underpins the team’s confidence in the deal.
