Yeahhhh Payne wayneeee!!!!

Was convinced about halfway through the season that they really wanted Payne back. Refreshing to see The Commanders being proactive instead of reactivate #HTTC #54th pic.twitter.com/Uyzy3KgPLC

The kind of player who a team should be willing to pay big money to is someone who is good, durable & young. Daron Payne checks all of those boxes. And the #Commanders astutely got this done before the market for interior defensive linemen truly takes off. Great job by Ron & co.

Keeping the d-line intact. It’s the face of the @Commanders outside of McLaurin. Good for Payne to get his 💵💰 https://t.co/7CsPwzGEXm

Wow, good for Payne. He deserved it. Hopefully now he continues to follow the development curve Jon Allen was on and takes another step forward this year https://t.co/GbXDXEXLwy

Wow. Great deal for Daron Payne. I had my doubts a long-term deal would come to fruition, so props to the Commanders as well.

Payne is now under contract through 2026, while fellow DT Jon Allen is locked in through 2025. https://t.co/7RBjE3ZIid

I'll say this for Ron Rivera. For years, we've watched players earn paydays and be allowed to walk. Not under Ron. Allen, McLaurin, Payne. Message: You earn it. You get paid.

Contract extension for DT Daron Payne…

Pass rush production in ‘22 (11.5 sacks). Disruptive ability on the interior. Powerful mover — with lower body agility — at 6-foot-3, 320 pounds. #Commanders pic.twitter.com/ov7ejriZTM

OK PAYNE https://t.co/AVXS4FsauV

Wow… my man Payne got paid. Him and Allen will be together for next couple of years… so proud of The Commanders.

Well deserved, Daron payne. Congratulations on the deal, man.

Great job on getting the deal done, Coach Ron.

Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen for years to come & You have Phidarian Mathis coming back also off his injury so the DT’s are the strength of the team. https://t.co/uXn7iCmQRu

— Zac (@DCzWall) March 12, 2023

Allen, Payne, Mathis and Ridgeway.

All of them are under contract through at least 2025. It’s one spot we don’t need to worry about for awhile. #httc

Rivera had said at Combine that the Commanders were committed to getting a deal done despite tagging Payne. And now they have. https://t.co/IxemLJFeYL
