Daron Payne, Commanders agree to new four-year contract: reports

The Washington Commanders and defensive tackle Daron Payne agreed to a new four-year deal on Sunday as the emerging star had a Pro Bowl season in 2022.

Daron Payne, the defensive tackle fresh off his first Pro Bowl season with the Washington Commanders, agreed to a four-year deal to re-join the team for the 2023 season and beyond, according to multiple reports.

Payne and the Commanders agreed to an extension worth $90 million, with $60 million guaranteed, according to The Associated Press. It is the second-biggest contract for a defensive tackle in NFL history, trailing only Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald’s deal which paid him $95 million and $65 million guaranteed.

The Commanders tweeted a very happy-looking emoji as word of the deal started to circulate in the NFL world.

Payne had his best season with Washington yet in 2022. In 17 games, he had 11.5 sacks and 64 combined tackles. Both marks were career-highs. He also set a personal best for QB hits with 20 and passes defended with five.

He has played in every game since the 2020 season.

Washington selected Payne in the first round of the 2018 draft with the 13th pick. The Commanders’ defense was third in yards allowed and seventh in points allowed in 2022.

The Commanders now have Payne and Jonathan Allen locked up on multiyear contracts while a decision on what to do with Chase Young looms next. Washington has to decide whether to pick up his fifth-year option. Young suffered a torn ACL in 2021 and missed a lot of the 2022 season recovering.
