The Washington commanders are ramping up their defense this off-season by signing edge rushers Kayla Bond-Shayson to a one-year $11 million dollar. Deal and Odefe-O-A after a big splash in free agency. Both players bring speed and upside to the past rush, helping fix a weak spot from last season. Shayson, a former first round pick by the Jaguars back in 2020, finally broke out last year with the Patriots, showing better moves and production. At 6'3 and 255 pounds, he has the size and bend to trouble tackles, though he still needs to refine his plan. O-A, now 27, turned his career around after a trade to the chargers where he racked up sacks and pressures in just a few games even. Shining in the playoffs with a top pass rush grade, the commanders hope he keeps that momentum going. On offense, they added running back were shot white, a versatile guy who excels in

1:02pass protection and receiving, likely pushing last year's Ricky Bill. Croskey merit down the depth chart. They also grab safety Nick Crosse for more athleticism in the secondary. Meanwhile, with quarterback Jaden Daniels needing weapons after losing some key pieces, the team has about $56 million in cap space and eyes on why receiver Brandon Ayukh as a potential cut from the 49ers to boost the passing game.
