NFL free agency began this week, and it was a wild week. Millions of dollars were guaranteed to players in a free-agent class that most believed was the weakest in years. The Washington Commanders were busy but largely avoided the splashy first day where money was flying.
Washington didn't sit idle, signing defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw to a three-year deal worth $45 million. The Commanders stole the headlines later on Monday, trading for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil. It was a move that general manager Adam Peters had in mind to protect star quarterback Jayden Daniels.
