Commanders sign former Packers linebacker
The Commanders remained busy on Monday, and plan to add a veteran linebacker for depth.
On Monday, the Washington Commanders remained off but general manager Adam Peters remained highly active. First, the team bolstered their running back lineup by signing veteran Craig Reynolds. Veteran Jeremy McNichols, however, is currently sidelined with a quad injury. Later, Washington decided to part ways with kicker Jake Moody, who had been competing with undrafted rookie Drew Stevens.
Moody was released, leaving Stevens as the new kicker. Finally, Peters made another significant move by signing veteran linebacker Krys Barner, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. It has been reported that the team will sign Barner, who has accumulated 303 career tackles, 5.5 sacks, and one interception over six NFL seasons.
Barner, 28, began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent, initially signing with the Green Bay Packers where he played for three seasons before moving to the Arizona Cardinals and then the Carolina Panthers. With this signing, the Commanders will have six UCLA alumni on their roster, including linebackers Ale Kaho and Kain Medrano, tight end Colson Yankoff, cornerback Fabian Moreau, and safety Qwuantrezz Knight.
