The Washington Commanders might be striking out on their prominent free-agent targets on offense, but it seems to be a different story on the defensive side of the football. General manager Adam Peters is allocating significant cash to fortify the league's worst unit, and his latest reported acquisition brings intrigue.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Commanders have agreed to terms with linebacker Leo Chenal on a three-year deal worth up to $24.75 million. This provides new coordinator Daronte Jones with another young, athletic piece who can fit seamlessly into his system. It's also a huge opportunity for the player, who could finally become a legitimate starter elsewhere.
