The Washington Commanders have signed a homegrown offensive lineman to a long-term contract just in time for the start of the NFL season. The team announced a four-year extension for starting left guard Sam Cosmi on Wednesday that keeps him under contract through 2029.

Cosmi and right tackle Andrew Wylie are returning from last season, when the Commanders allowed Sam Howell to be sacked a league-high 65 times. Cosmi was perhaps the most consistent lineman during that rough year, which allowed him to keep his starting job with rookie Brandon Coleman at left tackle and“I’m very confident in those guys,” Daniels said last week. “We all can be on the same page. I feel like we can go out there and have some success.
“He is so strong and square that it just kind of suits him inside,” coach Dan Quinn said before practice. “That move from tackle to guard I think unlocked some things there. To see him really perform well at that position, it’s a hard matchup.”“That kind of stoutness, it’s big certainly for Jayden, or for the quarterback, his ability to have space in the pocket to step up,” Quinn said. “ is an athlete that can pull and move, and in our system that’s really important.
