Washington makes a smart, low-risk retention of a proven offensive line starter. Multiple headlines confirm Paul's value, with one outlet calling him a top sleeper free agent. His 15-game starting experience signals genuine reliability at the guard position. Fans are relieved Washington kept continuity rather than gambling on an unknown replacement. Paul's re-signing should stabilize the interior line as Washington builds around its new offensive identity.

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Washington Commanders — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Chris's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL Gs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $3.0M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the G market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — depth piece production at below-market money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Chris is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
