The Washington Commanders and defensive tackle Daron Payne agreed to terms on a new contract Sunday afternoon, meaning the star defender will not play the 2023 season on the franchise tag.
Initially, many couldn’t believe the terms of Payne’s new deal. It’s a four-year contract worth $90 million with $60 million guaranteed. But the Commanders, who want to make some moves in free agency, wanted to get a deal done before the new league year opens this week.
