The Washington Commanders are making a significant move in free agency by signing defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, previously with the New York Jets, to a three-year, $45 million deal that guarantees $30 million. Kinlaw, a former first-round draft pick, had a notable season in 2024 with 40 tackles and 4.5 sacks. His addition comes at a critical time as the Commanders released Jonathan Allen, thus creating a need on their defensive line, which Kinlaw is expected to fill. This move also frees up over $16 million in cap space for Washington.
