Washington Commanders released Jonathan Allen due to his production not matching his salary. Adam Peters took a gamble on Javon Kinlaw, giving him a three-year, $45 million deal, which was criticized as an overpay. Kinlaw, aiming to fulfill the faith shown in him, has changed the mentality of Washington's defensive line with his imposing presence and leadership. Coupled with Daron Payne's resurgence and Johnny Newton's skills, this combination could lead to a strong defensive tackle trio.
The Commanders saw something others didn't in Javon Kinlaw. Peters was confident enough in the defensive lineman's trajectory to give him a three-year, $45 million deal with $30 million guaranteed.
Kinlaw's presence has completely shifted the mindset on Washington's defensive line interior. He is a physically imposing figure who sets the tone through actions and leadership.
