The Commanders are making waves with some significant roster moves. They've locked in OT Laremy Tunsil with a two-year extension worth a hefty $133.03 million.
This deal includes a $32.5 million signing bonus and a $16 million option bonus, giving Tunsil an average annual value of $30.1 million. With $61.5 million guaranteed, including $52.655 million fully guaranteed, Tunsil is set for the long haul, with salaries structured to impact the cap strategically in the coming years.
The contract also features voidable years in 2029 and 2030, allowing for future flexibility.
In addition, the Commanders have secured K Jake Moody on a one-year, $1.5 million contract that includes a $125,000 signing bonus. Safety Nick Cross also joins the team on a two-year, $13 million deal, with a $3 million signing bonus and $6.05 million fully guaranteed. Cross's contract is structured to provide stability and depth to the secondary over the next two seasons.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys have made a strategic move by trading DT Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers in exchange for a third-round pick. Owner Jerry Jones highlighted the importance of cap flexibility and the potential to bolster other areas of the roster. With standout players like Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark already on the defensive line, Dallas sees this trade as an opportunity to maximize their resources.
On the Giants' front, they've added TE Isaiah Likely from the Ravens in free agency. Despite rumors of a rocky relationship with former Ravens HC John Harbaugh, Likely has dismissed those claims, expressing excitement about Harbaugh's influence. Likely believes Harbaugh's emphasis on discipline and resilience will be invaluable for the Giants, aiming to instill a winning mindset and culture.
These moves showcase a dynamic offseason for these teams, as they position themselves for success in the upcoming season.
