Key Facts

(0:43) 2:07 PM UTC * DJ Bien-AimeESPN Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil has become the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL after agreeing to a three-year, $75 million extension, sources told ESPN on Sunday.
This is the second time Tunsil has received a contract extension that made him the highest-paid offensive tackle.
The latest extension comes off a season in which Tunsil, 28, was named a Pro Bowler for the third time and finished third among left tackles in All-Pro voting behind the New York Giants' Andrew Thomas and Williams.
The extension comes on the same day that the Texans agreed to trade wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Dallas Cowboys for a pair of draft picks, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
