"The Washington Commanders are signing veteran safety Darnell Savage, agent Seth Katz told ESPN, providing help for a banged-up secondary. Commanders starting strong safety Will Harris exited Sunday's 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders with a leg injury, though how long he'll be sidelined remains uncertain. Another backup safety and key special teams player, Percy Butler, exited Sunday's game with a hip injury."
"Savage was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week -- he had signed a three-year deal with $12.5 million guaranteed and worth up to $21.75 million in the 2024 offseason. But the Jaguars have a new coaching staff and front office in 2025, and they decided to make a change. The Green Bay Packers drafted Savage in the first round of the 2019 draft; Washington defensive pass game coordinator Jason Simmons was the Packers' secondary coach that season."
