COMMANDERS RETURN REAVES ON MAR-13 One of the Washington Commanders’ own free agents has been retained.

COMMANDERS SIGN CHINN ON MAR-12 The Washington Commanders are adding a player away from their defense after acquiring linebacker Frankie Luvu from the Carolina Panthers.
Former Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn is joining the Commanders on a one-year, $5.1 million contract, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. Luvu, who inked a three-year contract with Washington on Monday, will be rejoining him.
Over the past two seasons, Chinn has had difficulty staying on the field; in 23 games, he has accumulated 100 tackles, two tackles for loss, and one quarterback hit. Chinn looked like he was going to be one of the NFL’s best safety the previous two seasons. He finished both seasons with more than 100 tackles on his own.
Chinn’s signing is a further step in the Commanders’ defensive redesign. Additionally, Washington has reached agreements with Dante Fowler Jr., Luvu, who will play linebacker, Clelin Ferrell, and pass rusher Dorance Armstrong Jr.

The 30-year-old Mariota is competing for his fourth team in as many years, and this season, he is most likely going to be the team’s backup quarterback.
