The Washington Commanders remained active during the second day of the NFL's legal tampering period. General manager Adam Peters continues his quest to make the defense younger and faster by signing Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal.
Chenal was drafted by the Chiefs in 2022 and played out his rookie contract with the team. In the process, he became a two-time Super Bowl Champion, and it's clear that he left a solid impression on his teammates. Chiefs' defensive tackle Chris Jones shared a message with Chenal after the signing was announced.
Jones has been with the Chiefs since they drafted him in 2016 and is entering his 11th season in the NFL. He is a three-time Super Bowl Champion, three-time First-Team All-Pro selection, three-time Second-Team All-Pro selection, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and he set a record for the most consecutive games with a sack (11). He is a well-respected member of the Chiefs' organization, a respect that extends throughout the league.
If Chenal made this kind of impression on an elite defensive tackle, it's clear that the Chiefs' defense is going to miss him. By the looks of it, Chenal is going to miss his former teammates as well. Their loss is Washington's gain, though, and it looks like the Commanders have gotten themselves a locker room leader on defense.
