If there's one word to describe Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters, "aggressive" may be the perfect fit.
Peters has been aggressive on the trade market in his first full season at the helm of Washington's roster and has acquired Pro Bowl talent like cornerback Marshon Lattimore, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, and left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
In fact, it's the Tunsil trade this offseason that CBS Sports writer Josh Edwards is calling the fourth-biggest move of the offseason so far.
"Offensive tackle had been a common association with Washington in the first round. The presence of an established veteran like Tunsil opens the door for the franchise to address other positions of need at No. 28 overall. Meanwhile, Houston is now shopping for help along the offensive line to protect C.J. Stroud," Edwards writes.
"The Commanders also acquired wide receiver Deebo Samuel from San Francisco, which drastically reduced the likelihood of general manager Adam Peters using a first-round pick on the position."
Washington's offensive line has been a mess for the last few years and was at times during the 2024 season. Bringing in Tunsil to stabilize the left side, even at 30 years old, should do wonders.
There is an injury factor to be concerned about. Tunsil has been nicked on occasion in recent years.
But considering he just played in 17 games last season, reached his fifth Pro Bowl, and was the best player on a bad offensive line, it's easy to see why Washington is excited for his arrival at this point.
And the trade that brought him here might end up being the most important this offseason.
