Washington’s defensive line just got a double scoop of grit. Think of it like stacking your burger with bacon and jalapeños—Dan Quinn isn’t playing around.
On Sunday, the Commanders re-signed defensive weapon Jalyn Holmes, confirming their bet on the 29-year-old’s bounce-back potential. His agent, Blake Baratz, fired up fans with a hype tweet: “Congrats to these two dudes… @Commanders got better again today!” Holmes, a 2018 Vikings fourth-round pick, has bounced around like a baseball journeyman—Saints, Giants, Bears, Jets—before landing in D.C. last season. Now, Quinn’s giving him a shot to stick.
Meanwhile, the Commanders locked down DE Clelin Ferrell on Saturday. The 2019 Raiders No. 4 overall pick isn’t flashy, but he’s a run-stopping anchor. Despite knee issues, Ferrell tallied 3.5 sacks last year—one shy of his career high.
Congrats to these two dudes. Bringing some juice to a D Line near you. You boys deserve it, @steelers and @Commanders got better again today!

Holmes and Ferrell aren’t headline stars, but they’re the kind of depth that wins playoff games—think ’85 Bears’ unsung heroes. With Holmes chasing redemption and Ferrell grinding in the trenches, Quinn’s building a defense that’s all gas, no brakes.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
