The Washington Commanders<\/a> have agreed to sign K’Lavon Chaisson<\/a> to a one-year deal worth $12 million, according to NFL Network, adding another edge rusher to their overhauled pass rush.<\/p>\n

Chaisson will enter his seventh NFL season in 2026 and is coming off a breakout year with the New England Patriots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former first-round draft selection will join a Washington defense that has also added pass rusher Odafe Oweh<\/a> and linebacker Leo Chenal<\/a> in free agency this week.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

Chaisson, 26, signed a modest one-year contract in New England last offseason with a base value of $3 million and maximum value of $5 million. In 16 regular-season and four postseason games, he totaled 43 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 28 quarterback hits and three forced fumbles.<\/p>\n

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel credited Chaisson’s effort, speed and finish, along with his willingness to play on the punt-protection\/coverage unit.<\/p>\n

Chaisson was a first-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> in 2020. He combined for just five sacks over four seasons with the Jaguars before matching that total with the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n
