Deatrich Wise Jr.

Commanders signed DE Deatrich Wise, formerly of the Patriots, to a one-year, $5 million contract.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the deal is worth up to $5 million. Wise is a veteran defensive lineman who has spent all eight years in the NFL with the Patriots. With 34 career sacks mostly as a rotational pass rusher, Wise adds value to a defensive line that just released Jonathan Allen. The 30-year-old will join the rotation for a budding Commanders team in 2025.
