Editor's note: We'll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here's how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points ******* igned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to form a consensus top 10 ranking. We'll write a story on each member of the top 10 and another on others receiving votes at the end. Plus, Mark will probably have a Tyler's Take with his thoughts. You'll surely object to some of these rankings, though debate is kind of the point with lists like this. Today we focus on No. 1:
Our roster rankings: 10. Leo Chenal | 9. Chig Okonwko | 8. Nick Cross | 7. Sam Cosmi | 6. Sonny Styles | 5. Daron Payne | 4. Odafe Oweh | 3. Terry McLaurin | 2. Jayden Daniels
Adam Peters made a trade with the Houston Texans on May 15 last year, exchanging NFL draft compensation and made for left tackle Laremy Tunsil . It wasn't cheap, but nothing is while adding a player of Tunsil's caliber.
His long-term services were secured with the trade and a two-year, $60 million contract extension that will keep him in Washington through the 2028 season.
Tunsil has been a wall for Washington, a pillar of stability and leadership during his time in burgundy and gold.
