Everyone thought Chris Paul was gone in free agency. He's back and Laremy Tunsil couldn't be happier.
So, why did Washington Commanders ' guard, Chris Paul not receive the large contract that was expected? There had been reports by NFL reporters that Paul, testing the free agency market, was going to receive one of those "He got what? " deals.

"I think he's a great guy for the culture of the team. When Zion Johnson signed that huge contract to go to Cleveland, I was like, Chris is about to get broke off. But I think teams were like, 'Hey man, it was one year of success.
Let's maybe (make it) more of a prove it year' in terms of contract value'. I think that's reflected in why he came back to Washington. " Paul entered the season as a backup for Washington.
