The Washington Commanders are keeping Daron Payne around thanks to the second-biggest contract for a defensive tackle behind only seven-time All-Pro Aaron Donald.

The Commanders agreed to terms with Payne on a four-year contract worth $90 million, with $60 million guaranteed, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Sunday because the contract had not been announced.

Donald signed a contract last year with the Rams that paid him $95 million, with $65 million guaranteed.

Payne led Washington with a career-high 111⁄2 sacks last season. The Commanders put the franchise tag worth $18.9 million on him last month in the hopes of working out a long-term agreement.

The agreement means Payne and fellow Alabama product Jonathan Allen, also a defensive lineman, both have multiyear deals with Washington, which next must decide whether to exercise the fifth-year option on pass rusher Chase Young.
