Washington Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat is entering his fourth NFL season in 2022. And, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, the team plans on Sweat being around for a fifth year — and potentially more.
Jhabvala reported on Wednesday morning that Washington planned on exercising Sweat’s fifth-year option for 2023. The deadline to either pick up a fifth-year option or decline is May 3.
A first-round pick in 2019, Sweat played in every game during his first two seasons, registering 92 tackles, 16 sacks, four forced fumbles and one interception returned for a touchdown.
