The odds of Chris Paul making the Washington Commanders’ roster in the run-up to the 2025 season seemed small. Just one year later, the offensive lineman could be in line for a decent payday.
The former Tulsa lineman had played a grand total of 506 snaps in his first three professional seasons. They had all been at left guard, and the vast majority had come in the second half of 2023, when he filled in for the injured Saahdiq Charles. Paul struggled to perform consistently.
General manager Adam Peters signed Nick Allegretti to play left guard in 2024.
