Jeremy Chinn Signs Three-Year, $63 Million Contract Extension with Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Chinn has secured his future with the franchise, signing a three-year contract extension worth $63 million, averaging $21 million per year. The deal solidifies Chinn’s role as a key defensive playmaker for the Commanders as they continue to build a competitive roster.
Chinn, who initially joined Washington in 2024 after spending four seasons with the Carolina Panthers, has been a standout performer in the Commanders’ secondary. His versatility, athleticism, and ability to impact both the passing and rushing game made him a priority for the team’s long-term plans.
“We’re thrilled to keep Jeremy in Washington for the next three years,” said Commanders head coach Dan Quinn. “His leadership, playmaking ability, and physicality set the tone for our defense. He’s a difference-maker, and we believe he’s only getting better.”
Since entering the league as a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Chinn has consistently showcased his ability to play multiple roles in the secondary, racking up tackles, interceptions, and forced fumbles. In the 2024 season with Washington, he recorded 88 tackles, two interceptions, and three forced fumbles, proving to be an invaluable asset in the defensive scheme.
With this extension, Chinn joins the ranks of the highest-paid safeties in the league, reinforcing Washington’s commitment to maintaining a strong defensive core. As the Commanders gear up for the 2025 season, Chinn will remain a focal point in their pursuit of playoff contention.
