"Leo Chenal could be the Commanders' unheralded gem of free agency. You might not have heard of Chenal, despite being on one of the most highly publicized teams in the NFL. But everything about him fits the profile of the type of player who is so much more valuable than his name recognition factor."
"The Wisconsin product is a versatile grinder who has always made the most of his opportunities. Chenal has started more than half of the Kansas City Chiefs' games in each of the past three seasons. He's also a regular on special teams, proving he can suit up in any role that's asked of him."
"Chenal's $8.25 million per year is an absolute bargain for a player who figures to be a starting linebacker. Among all the second-level forces signed thus far around the league, he is one of the cheaper deals."
The Washington Commanders struggled in free agency on offense but strengthened their defense through multiple signings. Edge rusher Odafe Oweh leads the defensive acquisitions with a $100 million four-year deal, while cornerback Amik Robertson and defensive tackle Tim Settle also joined the roster. However, linebacker Leo Chenal emerged as the standout move. The Wisconsin product, a two-time Super Bowl winner from Kansas City, signed a three-year, $24.75 million contract. Chenal is a versatile, reliable defender who started over half of Kansas City's games in each of the past three seasons and played a career-high 53 percent of snaps last season. At $8.25 million annually, his contract represents exceptional value for a starting linebacker.
