‘We got some big ol' boys': Why the Commanders' defensive line bulked up
It's not just Jayden Daniels. The Washington Commanders have made size an emphasis across the roster, most notably with their defensive line. After losing longtime tackle Jonathan Allen and last season's sack leader, Dante Fowler Jr., in free agency, the Commanders bulked up and signed defensive tackles Javon Kinlaw and Eddie Goldman, and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., a trio that combined weighs close to half a ton and averages 6 feet 4.

New Commanders DL Javon Kinlaw is already a fan favorite
On Monday, the NFL world was shocked when the Washington Commanders agreed to terms with former first-round pick Javon Kinlaw. Not because the Commanders signed Kinlaw, but because they gave him a three-year deal worth $45 million with $30 million guaranteed. San Francisco fans couldn't believe it, and neither could Jets fans. Kinlaw spent four seasons with the 49ers and last season with the Jets. Injuries were an issue for Kinlaw with the 49ers, and, let's be honest, everyone with the New York Jets stunk in 2024. On Friday, Kinlaw, like other Washington free-agent additions and re-signings before him, was introduced to the local media via Zoom. Kinlaw didn't take long to make a positive impression on Commanders fans. "I grew up in Northeast D.C., so I'm a real Skins fan, point blank. Period." Kinlaw said. "When I was growing up, Trent Williams was on the team, and Jordan Reed and I got to be teammates with them guys my rookie year. For me to be able to be on this team now is a full-circle moment for me." Javon Kinlaw: "I grew up in northeast D.C., so I'm a real Skins fan. Point blank, period." — Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) March 14, 2025 That's the perfect way to get fans on your side: mention the old team nickname and reveal you grew up a fan. Being from D.C., Kinlaw likely was a fan, and returning to play for his hometown means something special to him. And it sounds like he's already won over many fans. That's all I need to know — MadHatter LJ 🎩🐷 (@MadHatter_LJ) March 14, 2025 And another: This is why I can't be taken serious, now I'm getting his jersey 😂 — Tim Meek (@IndySkinsFan) March 14, 2025 We told you: "Skins fan."My new favorite player. 😀 — Dale Betterton (@DaleBetterton) March 14, 2025 Kinlaw paid close attention to the Commanders' resurgence last season. The team went from a four-win team to 12 regular-season wins and played in the NFC championship game. He now hopes to be a part of the team that leads the franchise to its first Super Bowl championship since the 1991 season. There's a lot to like about Kinlaw, beginning with his size (6-foot-5, 319) and age (27). Washington general manager Adam Peters knows him well. Peters was the assistant GM in San Francisco before coming to the Commanders last year. Peters and head coach Dan Quinn had a plan this offseason to fix the trenches, and Kinlaw is a major part of that plan. Despite the initial shock, Washington fans should embrace Kinlaw and trust Peters and Quinn. They've earned the benefit of the doubt.

Reviews are not positive for new Commanders DL Javon Kinlaw
You could make a case that the Washington Commanders made the best move on the first day of the NFL's legal tampering period by trading for Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil. You could also make the case that Washington had Monday's most head-scratching move: signing former 49ers and Jets defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw to a three-year, $45 million deal with $30 million guaranteed. Washington just released longtime standout defensive tackle Jonathan Allen in a salary cap move to save $16 million. It's not totally fair to say the Commanders released Allen to sign Kinlaw until you know what Kinlaw's role will be in Joe Whitt's defense. Kinlaw doesn't have a reputation as a big-time run stopper playing defensive tackle. Perhaps Washington plans on playing the 6-foot-5, 319-pound Kinlaw on the edge, giving it a better chance of being more stout against the run next season. Regardless, the deal wasn't well received on the surface by many across the NFL, including some Washington fans. Let's check out some of these reactions. Worst deal of the day BY FAR was the Commanders giving DT Javon Kinlaw $45 million… he's terrible I watched every single snap with the Jets, mind-boggling move — John Frascella (Football) (@NFLFrascella) March 11, 2025 The Commanders after giving all of Jonathan Allen's money to Javon Kinlaw — Wommanders (@Wommandrs) March 10, 2025 Here's Matt Bowen. Smarter than your favorite blogger. — Steve (@AirRaidConcepts) March 10, 2025 It is funny seeing people be happy that they didn't get Javon Kinlaw. His tape is so solid and has been for back to back years. 49ers fans forget he was the best DLine by far in the 2023 playoff run. — John Chapman (@JL_Chapman) March 10, 2025 Interesting Analysis on the Redskins Javon Kinlaw dealI think they had a lot of discussions about how to improve the Run D and create allys for their DBs. And DQ wants to implement what they had early on in Seattle with this concept called an Elephant End. In Seattle it was Red… — Chad Forbes (@NFLDraftBites) March 10, 2025 Cutting Jonathan Allen to save $15.5M and then paying Javon Kinlaw a guaranteed $30M ... is interesting. Adam Peters is a very smart exec. But that's interesting. — Tim Kawakami (@timkawakami) March 10, 2025 One thing I'll say.... Adam Peters doesn't orchestrate his moves at all. No one mentioned Kinlaw or Tunsil all week. It's Fort Knox over there in Ashburn. As it should be. — George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) March 10, 2025 Javon Kinlaw provides some pop within the interior for Washington. Former first-rounder totaled a career high in sacks (5), tackles (34), and run stops (24) last fall & now pairs with Daron Payne & Johnny Newton in DC. — Ryan Fowler (@_RyanFowler_) March 10, 2025 Jets' perspective That Javon Kinlaw contract is one of the worst I've ever seen my time since the Luka trade I refused to believe a piece of sports news was one of the worst contracts in NFL history I'm so serious. — The Jet Press (@TheJetPress) March 10, 2025 Let Peters cook! Traded for Laremy TunsilTraded for Deebo SamuelSigned Javon KinlawRe-signed Bobby WagnerRe-signed Zach ErtzRe-signed TE John BatesAnd the new league year just started! Everyone breathe and LET PETERS COOK! 🧑🍳 #RaiseHail — Commander Sean 🪖 (@DMVCommanders) March 10, 2025 30 years of Dan Snyder but your line in the sand is signing Javon Kinlaw in the offseason after an NFCCG appearance? — Mark Phillips (@GoingCommander) March 10, 2025 I guarantee that some of these folks that are criticizing the Kinlaw deal have never seen him play and wouldn't know if he was standing next to you at the at the cooler.😂 — Disco (@discoque90) March 10, 2025 Javon Kinlaw for 45 Million — Dose🦅 (@DailyBirds302) March 10, 2025 As you can see, the reactions are all over the place. Eagles' fans weighing in is funny. Most Washington fans haven't seen Kinlaw play and have tried to keep an open mind instead of outright praising the move. Meanwhile, Philadelphia fans would somehow find a way to say the Laremy Tunsil trade was bad. Kinlaw has a chance to prove Adam Peters right. If not, that honeymoon period will wear off fast for Peters. For now, fans think Peters can do no wrong, but that will chance if Kinlaw flops in 2025.

Washington Commanders agree to terms with defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, AP sources say
The Washington Commanders made a big splash in the first hours of NFL free agency Monday, agreeing to terms with defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. One of the people said the contract was worth $45 million over the next three seasons, with $30 million guaranteed. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract cannot be made official until the start of the new league year Wednesday. Kinlaw, 27, becomes an immediate replacement for Jonathan Allen after the second-longest-tenured player in the organization was released last week. Punter Tress Way, the longest-tenured player, and tight end John Bates re-signed with Washington, one of the people said. A first-round pick by San Francisco out of South Carolina in 2020, Kinlaw had 4 1/2 sacks and 40 tackles last season with the New York Jets after spending his first four NFL seasons with the 49ers. The addition of Kinlaw strengthens an already formidable position even without Allen for the Commanders, who still have 2022 Pro Bowl pick Daron Payne and 2024 second-round pick Johnny Newton as interior defensive linemen. After and bringing back veteran tight end Zach Ertz, general manager Adam Peters is expected to target edge rushers, among others, in free agency and the draft. ___
