Versatile Commanders defensive back could draw major free agency interest

   

The Washington Commanders were excited to bring Jeremy Chinn on board a year ago to help their defense.

The former Carolina Panthers defensive back spent time both at safety and linebacker, proving his versatility, and he was able to do the same for the Commanders.

Now, Chinn is a free agent once again, and his versatility is reason to bring him back to the nation's capital.

Chinn could come back to Commanders

"The Commanders used Chinn as a safety/linebacker hybrid, and he was strong against the run," NFL.com writer Gregg Rosenthal writes.

Chinn, who turns 27 this week, brings a lot to the table, which should garner some interest from rival teams during free agency.

This means that the Commanders will have to pay a little more than they did a year ago for his services, and based on how many holes Washington has to fill this offseason, it may not be possible to bring him back.
