The Washington Commanders are set to sign safety Jeremy Chinn to a one-year deal worth up to $5.1 million, sources told Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz.

Chinn is a versatile defender who's played at least 576 career snaps each as a box linebacker, slot corner, and safety, per PFF. He accumulated 30 total tackles (two for loss), a pass deflection, and a sack in eight starts with the Carolina Panthers last season.

The 26-year-old's best campaign came in his first season when he finished second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting behind Chase Young. Chinn scored a pair of touchdowns and had a career-best 117 total tackles during that 2020 campaign.

Kamren Curl and Terrell Burgess, two of the Commanders' top safeties by year's end due to injuries, are both free agents.
