Hidden gems: Five underrated NFL free-agent moves reshaping rosters

Five underrated NFL free-agent signings could quietly shift the balance this season: RB Keaton Mitchell to the Chargers (two-year, $9.25 million), LB K'Lavon Chaisson to the Commanders (one year, $12 million), CB Nahshon Wright to the Jets (base $3.5 million), TE Chig Okonkwo to the Commanders (three-year, up to $30 million), and S Jalen Thompson to the Cowboys (three-year, $33 million).

Commanders' free-agent haul earns high grades for 2026

Washington Commanders’ 2026 free‑agency class drew strong praise from national analysts, as nine signings—headlined by edge rushers Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson and linebacker Leo Chenal—aim to boost the team’s pass rush and overall depth. The moves also add young talent like Chig Okonkwo and Amik Robertson to provide playmaking versatility for a roster that was among the NFL’s oldest in 2025, with outlets like CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, and Yahoo Sports giving favorable grades and framing the class as a solid, under-the-radar investment to raise the team’s floor for 2026.

Chaisson, 26, had limited production with the Jaguars and spent 2024 with the Raiders; he’s a speed-focused edge rusher who is undersized for run defense, making him a pass-rushing addition for Washington.
