The Buffalo Bills are signing former Washington Commanders safety Darrick Forrest, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 2021 fifth-round pick out of Cincinnati spent the first four years of his career with Washington and totaled 137 tackles (84 solos), four interceptions (all in 2022), nine pass deflections, and two forced fumbles in 40 career games (17 starts). He was primarily utilized as a special-teamer and depth piece on the secondary for Washington, which will likely be his role in Buffalo. He has started in just six games over the last two seasons.

Washington Commanders safety Darrick Forrest (shoulder) suffered a season-ending fractured shoulder last October is healthy and excited for the 2024 under new head coach Dan Quinn. A fifth-round selection (163rd overall) by the previous regime in 2021 out of Cincinnati, Forrest has played in 30 games (16 starts) for Washington in his three seasons, amassing 124 tackles (78 solo), four interceptions, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his time in D.C. He went from being a special teams contributor in 2022 to being a key piece of the secondary, but his shoulder injury last year kept him replicating that success in 2022, in which he finished second on the team with 88 tackles and a team-high four picks. Forrest earned the starting safety spot last year before getting hurt.
