The Houston Texans made a significant overhaul with their coaching regime change. The franchise is also gearing up, so they do not lose out on their star athletes. As they moved forward, the franchise extended one of their star athlete’s contracts. Not only did they retain his benefits, but they also made him the highest-paid athlete yet again. The athlete has a storybook entry that the fans must witness.

OT Laremy Tunsil was a star prospect from the University of Mississippi and was wildly predicted to be a number-one pick. However, his best day turned out as his worst nightmare as he dropped on the list. While the Miami Dolphins took a chance on him, Tunsil proved his worth to his current franchise, the Texans.

Laremy Tunsil made history yet again!

Amidst the offseason buzz, the Houston Texans extended Laremy Tunsil’s services in a three-year deal for $75 million, per NFL.com. The agreement also includes $50 million, a fully guaranteed amount. The transaction would keep him in Houston till the end of 2026, making him the highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL. 

Laremy Tunsil repeated history in 2023 after he struck gold in 2020. He signed a record-breaking $66 million deal, with $50 million guaranteed. He became the NFL’s highest-paid tackle in 2020 and repeated history this year.

The Offensive Tackle went through a rollercoaster ride before his NFL career began. As a number one prospect, the athlete dealt with intense controversy after a video of him smoking pot from a gas mask went viral. It affected his draft count as he tumbled from number one to nineteen when the Miami Dolphins picked him in the first round.

Undoubtedly, Tunsil clutched a vital thing. But there is more to how he made the deal.

OT Tunsil pulled the highest-paid deal by himself

Laremy Tunsil pulling the highest-paid deal twice is not an easy feat to do. The athlete has some decent statistics, prompting the Texans to finalize the negotiations. The franchise OT became the NFL’s highest-paid athlete twice, and he pulled it up without the aid of a representative.

The NFL has athletes that have never sought an agent to represent them. Among them are Bobby Wagner, Lamar Jackson, and Tunsil himself. Of course, having an agent makes the athlete’s life easier and helps in negotiations. But the Texans OT doing it all by himself makes him such a distinguished personality.

Perhaps other non-agent athletes like Lamar Jackson could use Laremy Tunsil’s negotiating skills.
