The Washington Commanders have released defensive end Jamin Davis, a first-round pick from the 2021 NFL Draft. This move marks the fifth first-round selection since 2019 that the team has parted ways with, highlighting a significant turnover in their recent draft strategy. Davis, who transitioned from linebacker to defensive end this season, had limited impact in his backup role, prompting the team to create a roster spot for another player.

• The Commanders continue to struggle with retaining their first-round draft picks.
• Jamin Davis's transition to defensive end did not yield the expected results, leading to his release.
