Washington Commanders DT Daron Payne will be joined by newcomers DEs K’Lavon Chaisson, Odafe Oweh and DT Javon Kinlaw to provide a new-look pass-rush in the nation’s capital. ‘The best teams that I’ve been a part of had waves of players that could apply pressure,’ head coach Dan Quinn said. ‘We’ll need to be able to do that and we will.’ LB Frankie Luvu is also expected to be used more effectively as a blitzer, and free-agent addition LB Leo Chenal also has blitzing ability. DEs Charles Omenihu and DT Tim Settle Jr. bolster the unit, providing great veteran depth and/or a strong rotation.
