Laremy Tunsil contract: Signs three-year, $66 million deal with Texans

Left tackle Laremy Tunsil has agreed to a three-year, $66 million contract extension with the Texans, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Steve Wyche.

The deal includes $50 million guaranteed, per Rapoport, and makes Tunsil the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL. The Eagles’ Lane Johnson is second with an average salary of $18 million per season.

Earlier this month, Texans coach and general manager Bill O’Brien told reporters that the team was in contact with Tunsil and working on a deal. Now Houston has Tunsil for three more seasons to protect quarterback DeShaun Watson.
