Clelin Ferrell Signs One-Year Deal with Washington Commanders

The former top-five NFL draft pick joins Washington's defense as part of a broader roster overhaul.

Clelin Ferrell, the fourth overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders.
Ferrell's addition follows the Commanders' signings of several free agents, including defensive end Dorance Armstrong and running back Austin Ekeler.
The Commanders' defense, which ranked 26th in sacks last season, aims to improve with Ferrell and other new signings.
Ferrell recorded 3.5 sacks and a career-high 13 quarterback hits last season with the San Francisco 49ers.
Washington is also in search of a franchise quarterback and has the second pick in the upcoming draft.
