Commanders quietly positioned for potential Daronte Jones reunion as release nears

Daronte Jones is looking to make an instant impression with the Washington Commanders. Head coach Dan Quinn was blown away by his new defensive coordinator during interviews, leaving no doubt that this was the man capable of spearheading the significant improvements needed.

Of course, this won't happen without a revamp of the playing personnel at his disposal. And a recent report could carve out a path for Jones to reunite with someone he worked with last season.

The Commanders need to build their defense from the inside out. Adam Peters all but confirmed that Daron Payne will be back next season, albeit without a contract extension.
