Laremy Tunsil had the perfect reaction to becoming the highest-paid tackle in NFL history

For a few years now, Laremy Tunsil has more than lived up to his status as a former mid-first-round draft pick. But now, as the Houston Texans enter a new era with head coach DeMeco Ryans, the franchise book-end has a handsome contract to match.

On Sunday, by signing a three-year, $75 million contract ($60 million guarantee), Tunsil became the highest-paid offensive tackle in NFL history. In fact, per Over The Cap, the three-time Pro Bowler (2019-2020, 2022) now makes nearly $2 million more per season than the second-best Trent Williams in San Francisco.

Moreover, Tunsil’s total guaranteed money is only eclipsed by the Baltimore Ravens’ Ronnie Stanley ($70.8 million). Though Stanley’s overall deal is for five years, $98.7 million, meaning Tunsil has a more significant percentage of guaranteed cash. It’s undoubtedly another notch in the left tackle’s favor.

On Twitter, Tunsil had a perfectly succinct reaction to his new contract when he shared a famous meme video of a football coach saying, “bring me my money.”

Incredible, no further notes! It’s just absolute gold (no pun intended) from one of the NFL’s best players as he enters his prime on a lucrative contract.
