Signed a three-year, $31 million contract with the Commanders in March of 2024.
Production dips in 2025
Luvu recorded 86 tackles (42 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while adding six passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Luvu started all 17 regular-season games for a third consecutive season but recorded his lowest totals for tackles and sacks since the 2021 campaign. The 29-year-old linebacker appears to be on the downslope of his career, so the Commanders may consider cutting Luvu prior to the 2026 campaign for a $6.9 million cap penalty rather than absorbing the full $11.3 million cap hit from the final year of his three-year, $31 million deal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Luvu is a key piece of Washington's defensive makeover under new coach Dan Quinn, coming over from Carolina after his two seasons as a full-time starter yielded 236 tackles and 12.5 sacks. His background as an edge rusher has been evident in his massive pass-rushing production as a blitzing off-ball linebacker, and it now seems borderline criminal that Luvu spent the first four years of his career coming off the bench. That won't be an issue in Washington, though he'll probably only be the second- or third-leading tackler for a defense that also signed LB Bobby Wagner and S Jeremy Chinn this spring.

On track for first Pro Bowl?
Coming off a career season, Luvu figures to be on track to earn a spot on the 2024 Pro Bowl roster for the first time in his career, Conor Orr of SI.com argues.
ANALYSIS
After splitting his snaps between defense and special teams over the first four years of his career, Luvu registered 100-plus tackles in each of the last two years as a full-time starter, including a career-high 125 tackles, along with 5.5 sacks, five pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 2023. Luvu signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Commanders in March, and he will play alongside veteran Bobby Wagner at inside linebacker and under head coach Dan Quinn, who spent the last three seasons leading a dominant Cowboys defense as the defensive coordinator.
