Commanders land Chaisson on one-year deal after breakout Patriots season

Washington Commanders signed former Patriots edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson to a one-year deal after his breakout 2025 season in New England, where he posted a career-high 7.5 sacks and 59 pressures (including 20 in four playoff games). 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.

Garrett's DPOY win puts Watt at a crossroads

Garrett's unanimous Defensive Player of the Year win contrasts with T.J. Watt’s down season (seven sacks, three misses) and aging edge-rusher concerns, even as Garrett set a single-season sacks record with 23. Pittsburgh’s $123 million extension signals belief Watt still has more to give, making this moment feel like a potential turning point and a test of Watt's ability to reclaim dominance.

Mack weighs next move as free agency looms after 12th season

Khalil Mack’s 12th NFL season ended without a postseason win as the Chargers fell 16-3 to the Patriots, and with free agency approaching in March at age 35 he’s weighing whether to continue or retire, saying he wants to factor in feelings and his family before deciding. He previously considered retirement last year, and in 2025 he posted 5.5 sacks, 11 QB hits and 32 tackles, bringing his career sacks to 113 (29th all-time). If he returns, his next destination could be in L.A. or elsewhere.

Bucs Expected More Sacks from Haason Reddick

Haason Reddick's limited sack production for the Buccaneers is attributed to injuries, and despite high expectations, his impact has been less than hoped. The team has struggled with developing effective edge rushers, and while some recent draft picks show promise, overall pass rush production remains a challenge. The Bucs' defense has relied on veteran players like Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul for pass rushing, but with limited time remaining in the season, improving the pass rush is a pressing concern.
