The Washington Commanders are reportedly working hard behind the scenes to get a long-term extension worked out with franchise left tackle Laremy Tunsil. But every day they delay this inevitable move, the price keeps rising.
And one team insider believes Tunsil's leverage will only increase if he bides his time.
Adam Peters struck gold when he traded for Tunsil. He was precisely what the Commanders were looking for, providing elite-level production on the field and exceptional leadership in the locker room. He also wants to be paid in advance, and the general manager is under pressure to resolve this quickly after how things unfolded with wide receiver Terry McLaurin last summer.
