5 Things to Know About New Chargers CB Benjamin St-Juste The 27-year-old cornerback appeared in 54 games over the past four seasons in Washington
Bolting to Los Angeles St-Juste agreed to terms on a contract with the Chargers on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact St-Juste managed to accrue a season-high 71 combined tackles across 17 regular-season games in 2024 with the Commanders. However, he lost his hold on the starting outside corner job following Washington's Week 14 bye due to his struggles in coverage, and he didn't play more than 10 defensive snaps in each of the Commanders' three playoff games. A fresh start with the Chargers could help St-Juste reinvigorate his game, though he's projected to serve in a reserve role at outside corner behind Donte Jackson and Tarheeb Still.

Commanders re-sign QB Marcus Mariota to back up Jayden Daniels next season, AP source says
The Washington Commanders are re-upping veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota to back up Jayden Daniels in the Offensive Rookie of the Year's second NFL seasonMARCH 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Headed for free agency St-Juste made a career-high 71 tackles (56 solo), seven passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season appearances with the Commanders in 2024.
Impact St-Juste held onto a starting role for the majority of the regular season despite struggling in coverage, though by Washington's bye in Week 14 he was relegated to a depth role. The 27-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and his odds of gaining a starting opportunity elsewhere in the league appear slim.

Placed on IR Washington placed St-Juste (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
Impact St-Juste was already ruled out for Week 18 due to an ankle injury, so his move to IR was simply transactional. Washington also sent Saahdiq Charles (concussion) to IR and signed Alex Akingbulu and Benning Potoa'e to the active roster from the practice squad. St-Juste will end the 2022 campaign with 42 tackles, seven pass defenses, two sacks and a forced fumble across 12 appearances.

The cornerback will finish the 2022 campaign with 42 tackles, including two sacks, while deflecting seven passes and forcing a fumble over 12 games.
