The Washington Commanders have a new offensive lineman. They have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with offensive guard Trai Turner. His new deal is worth $3 million.
Washington Commanders beat reporter J.P. Finlay reported the news via Twitter on Monday morning.
Washington has signed Trai Turner. Veteran guard. Played for Rivera in Carolina. Good competition and depth. #Commanthers

Turner was drafted in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers, who were coached by Washington’s Ron Rivera, which makes this signing a reunion for the two parties. He played there for six seasons before playing for the Chargers in 2020 and the Steelers in 2021. This will be his third consecutive one-year contract.
Turner was a Pro Bowl selection in five consecutive years, from 2015-2019. He started just 20 games in college at Louisiana State, but has become a reliable NFL offensive lineman, regardless.
