Outside Linebacker · Washington Commanders

Leo Chenal

No. 54 · 5th season

Leo Chenal lands in Washington with a role that's already waiting for him

Some signings are depth moves. This one sounds like something the Washington Commanders actually planned around.

Chenal comes to Washington on a three-year deal, and the organization isn't hiding what they think of him — he landed at No. 10 on the team's own roster rankings before the season has even started. That's not a depth chart footnote. That's a statement.

The details of exactly what Chenal's role looks like on the field aren't fully spelled out yet, but the Commanders brought him in expecting him to matter. A three-year commitment and a top-ten billing don't happen for someone you're hoping figures it out.

Now he has to show up for it. Washington handed him the door; walking through it is his part.
