The Las Vegas Raiders moved quickly to replace Tre'von Moehrig, agreeing to a two-year contract with free agent safety Jeremy Chinn, a source told ESPN amid multiple reports.
Moehrig reached agreement earlier Monday on a three-year, $51 million deal with the Carolina Panthers, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Chinn started every game for the Washington Commanders last season -- the first time he'd done so in his five-year career. He played strong safety but would move to a linebacker role in the Commanders' three-safety set. At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds he added a physical presence in the secondary.
During the regular season, Chinn set a career-high with seven tackles for a loss and tied his career-best with 117 tackles. He also intercepted one pass and recovered two fumbles. Chinn also intercepted a pass in the final minute of Washington's 45-31 divisional playoff win over the Detroit Lions.
Chinn, 27, spent his first four years with the Carolina Panthers after being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft. He started 50 of the 54 games he played with the Panthers. In his first two seasons, he intercepted two passes, forced three fumbles and returned two for touchdowns. He also recorded a combined 224 tackles.
In his final two years he missed a combined 11 games due to injury, including one to his quad in 2023 that cost him five games.
