"It's unlikely that there was anyone in Washington who was disappointed when St-Juste didn't get another deal following the expiration of his rookie contract. He never lived up to his billing during his four years on the Commanders, and his replacement, second-round rookie Trey Amos, has been promising. Still, there's no reason to hold any ill will towards St-Juste, a young man trying to preserve his NFL dream."
"The Chargers threw him a lifeline as a depth piece - he hasn't started in any games and has been on the field for fewer than 25 percent of all defensive snaps before Week 6. But when his number has been called, he's been productive. It's an ideal role for the Montreal native, who never worked out in a situation where he was expected to be a featured contributor with the Commanders."
Benjamin St-Juste intercepted Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Chargers' 29-27 win, one of three interceptions thrown by the Dolphins quarterback. St-Juste left Washington after his rookie contract expired and did not receive another deal. He struggled across four seasons in D.C., recording only one interception and facing criticism for penalties and giving up big plays. The Chargers signed him as a depth piece; he had not started and played fewer than 25 percent of defensive snaps before Week 6. He has produced when called upon, thriving as a utility defender with fewer responsibilities and fresher legs.
