Why Chiefs Will Miss Leo Chenal After The Commanders Signed Him
Chenal's three-year, $24.75 million contract addresses Washington's 27th-ranked defense, adding versatility and Super Bowl experience to improve run defense, sources said.
- Yesterday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz first reported the Washington Commanders signed linebacker Leo Chenal to a three-year, $24.75 million deal, confirmed by outlets.
- Washington Commanders finished 27th in scoring defense and last in yards, adding Chenal for his versatility, as ESPN's Matt Bowen wrote on March 4.
- Chenal's four-season totals show 193 tackles, seven sacks and 28 pressures, and he appeared in all 17 games last season with 60 tackles despite limited snap usage.
- The signing immediately bolsters Washington's linebacker depth, as Chenal joins Frankie Luvu and Jordan Magee, with Bobby Wagner still unsigned.
- The move continues a pattern of notable free-agent exits from Kansas City, with Chenal confirming reports Tuesday night by posting two Army helmet emojis.
