The Houston Texans had an eventful weekend. They not only traded Brandin Cooks to the Dallas Cowboys, but they also allegedly signed left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a three-year, $75 million contract deal.
This contract, which allegedly includes $50 million in guaranteed money, elevates Tunsil, 28, to the highest-paid tackle in NFL history, with an annual salary of $25 million. He outperforms fellow left tackle Trent Williams of the San Francisco 49ers, who has earned slightly more than $23 million each year since 2021. Tunsil's most recent contract with the Texans, a three-year, $66 million agreement inked in 2020, makes him the highest-paid tackle in NFL history (a record that Williams beat a year later).
Tunsil's NFL career did not begin well. He was expected to be a first-round choice in the 2016 NFL Draft, but a photo showing Tunsil smoking from a gas mask bong surfaced just 10 minutes before the draft began. He fell out of the top five, then out of the top 10, before being taken with the 13th overall choice by the Miami Dolphins.
And he's done it all without the help of an agent. Mitchell Schwartz, the Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman who will retire with the Kansas City Chiefs at the end of the 2020 season, applauded Tunsil's cautious approach to contract negotiations. It's a nice time to be Laremy Tunsil these days.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
