The Washington Commanders are finalizing a deal to hire Daronte Jones as their next defensive coordinator, a source told ESPN on Monday.

Jones will take over for Joe Whitt, who was fired earlier this month after two seasons with Washington. The Commanders will have two inexperienced coordinators in 2026 after replacing Kliff Kingsbury with David Blough on offense shortly after the season ended.
