The Commanders signed defensive tackle D.J. Davidson, the team announced Tuesday.
Davidson, 26, spent his first four seasons with the Giants after they made him a fifth-round pick.
In 2025, Davidson played 256 defensive snaps and 139 on special teams in 15 games. He totaled nine tackles and a pass defensed.
Davidson missed the final two games of last season with a neck injury.
In his career, he has played 47 games with four starts, seeing action on 806 defensive snaps and 403 on special teams. He has recorded 49 tackles, 2.5 sacks, three quarterback hits and three passes defensed.
Future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner spent the past two seasons with the Commanders. He’s currently a free agent. The team’s head coach said the franchise hasn’t ruled out bringing Wagner back for a third year.
“We would never shut the door on him,” Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday, via John Keim of ESPN.
That said, the Commanders seem to be content with the players they have on the roster.
“We do feel like there’s some players that are about to take off at [his] position,” Quinn said.
Whatever Wagner does next, he’s a sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer. He has earned first-team All-Pro honors six times, and All-Pro second-team honors five times.
In 2014, Wagner finished fifth in the NFL MVP voting.
After 10 straight years with the Seahawks, Wagner joined the Rams in 2022. He returned to Seattle in 2023 before signing with Washington for 2024.
Running back Chase Edmonds remains a free agent three weeks into the new league year. He is hopeful of finding work, but he is also exploring opportunities in broadcasting and acting.
“I still feel young, still feel great,” Edmonds told Kyle Odegard of The Sporting News. “I stay in shape, but at the same time, I’m not just going to be idle, praying for a call.”
Edmonds, 29, spent part of last season on the Commanders’ practice squad, but he has played only three games the past two seasons.
He missed the 2024 season on the Buccaneers’ injured reserve list after injuring his knee before the start of the season. Edmonds played only one offensive snap, without any touches, in 2025, while recording19 special teams snaps.
In his career, Edmonds has 608 touches for 3,131 yards and 17 touchdowns. Most of that came during his four years with the Cardinals.
Ahkello Witherspoon’s visit with the Commanders apparently went well.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Witherspoon has agreed to sign with Washington after meeting with the club on Thursday.
Witherspoon, who just turned 31 this month, played for the Rams over the last three seasons. In 2025, he appeared in six games with two starts, registering two passes defended and an interception.
He previously spent four seasons with the 49ers and two years with the Steelers.
The move reunites Witherspoon with Commanders G.M. Adam Peters, as Peters was in San Francisco’s front office when Witherspoon was with the club.
A third-round pick in the 2017 draft, Witherspoon has played in 96 games with 64 starts. He’s registered 60 career passes defensed with 13 interceptions.
Linebacker Sonny Styles is one of the top prospects in this year’s draft class and he’s starting to make the rounds with teams that could make him a first-round pick next month.
During an appearance on Up & Adams, Styles said that he has already had a visit with the Jets. Styles says that he also has visits planned with the Cowboys, Commanders and Bengals in the near future.
The Jets have the second overall pick and have commonly been linked to Styles’s Ohio State teammate Arvell Reese in mock drafts. They also have the 16th overall pick and have an arsenal of early-round choices over the next two drafts, so they could move around the board in order to nab their preferred targets.
Dallas also has two picks — No. 12 and No. 20 — while the Commanders are at No. 7 and the Bengals are at No. 10.
Styles had 244 tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks, an interception, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery during his time with the Buckeyes. He also impressed during his workouts at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last month to solidify his standing as a top prospect.
