Safety shake-up leaves Commanders banking on untested talent

Considering the speed with which Adam Peters reconstructed the Washington Commanders’ roster he inherited last year, it isn’t surprising that the general manager allowed starting safety Kamren Curl to depart.

There was some thought that Peters might want to retain one of the few success stories from Ron Rivera’s drafts. Curl seemed to be a good match for another of those successes, free safety Quan Martin. Together, they formed a promising young tandem.

But Peters did not pursue Curl. Instead, he signed Jeremy Chinn from the Carolina Panthers.

Chinn had been a rising star during his first two seasons with the Panthers.
