Laremy Tunsil

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Laremy Tunsil deal screams significant overpay, earning a dismal F CVI that should have front offices questioning basic roster construction principles. Paying $30.1M annually for an unproven tackle — regardless of pedigree or past flashes — represents a catastrophic misallocation of salary cap resources that could cripple a team's competitive window. At 30 years old, Tunsil's best days are likely behind him, making this two-year commitment feel more like desperation than strategic planning. The $52.7M in guaranteed money only amplifies the risk, essentially handcuffing the signing team to replacement-level production at elite tackle prices. While the shorter term length prevents this from being a decade-long anchor, any franchise willing to bet this heavily on unproven offensive line play is setting themselves up for buyer's remorse and limited roster flexibility. This contract exemplifies everything wrong with modern NFL free agency — paying for potential rather than proven production at the league's most cap-sensitive positions.

Performance Analysis

Laremy Tunsil's F grade with one of the lowest possible scores tells you more about the metrics catching a career at its end than about the player himself. This is a three-time Pro Bowl left tackle who has been one of the most dominant blind-side protectors in football over the past several years. Tunsil's technique and athleticism at the tackle position have been elite throughout his career with Miami and Houston. Being a free agent at this point suggests either a desire to find the right fit or a career that's reaching its conclusion. The body of work deserves far more respect than this grade suggests.
