## Resource

Daron Payne, the lone veteran anchor of Washington’s new defensive line, is carrying the load with a big contract set to expire this offseason — but he’s staying focused on the field, not negotiations. After key teammates moved on, Payne’s Pro Bowl-caliber play (2021-2023) and early OTAs suggest he’s ready to lead a revamped unit under new coach Daronte Jones. Surrounded by elite newcomers like Oweh, Chaisson, and Settle, Payne’s competitive spirit is already clicking — and his performance, market value, and team needs will decide his future beyond 2026.
