Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images The Washington Commanders are in agreement with outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson on a one-year, $12 million deal, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
Chaisson, 26, joins his fourth team in four seasons following a breakout campaign with the New England Patriots in 2025. He set career highs in sacks (7.5), tackles for loss (10), quarterback hits (18) and forced fumbles (two) in 16 regular season games (10 starts) and added three sacks in four playoff games.
A first-round pick (20th overall) by Jacksonville in 2020, Chaisson has tallied 17.5 sacks, 49 QB hits, 136 tackles, three forced fumbles and one interception in 88 games (25 starts) with the Jaguars (2020-23), Las Vegas Raiders (2024) and Patriots (2025).
Chaisson joins a Washington defense that added pass rusher Odafe Oweh and linebacker Leo Chenal in free agency earlier this week.
