Free-agent cornerback Michael Davis is signing with the Washington Commanders, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The former 2017 undrafted free agent spent seven seasons with the Chargers, racking up 348 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, eight interceptions, and 69 passes defended in 107 games (74 starts). The Commanders have now signed or agreed to terms with four defensive backs this offseason, so it's clear the franchise is looking to vastly improve in the backend under new head coach Dan Quinn. Washington gave up a league-worst 262.2 passing yards per game in 2023.
The Washington Commanders signed free-agent cornerback Noah Igbinoghene to an undisclosed deal on Sunday, according to a source. Igbinoghene represents a depth signing for Washington's secondary, and he can also contribute on special teams. The 24-year-old former 30th overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins out of Auburn has started just five of the 37 games he's appeared in over his four NFL seasons with the Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys, so he certainly hasn't lived up to his first-round pedigree. He was traded from Miami to Dallas before the 2023 season and didn't record any stats in the five games he appeared in for the Cowboys. Igbinoghene is following former Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to D.C.
Wide receiver Jamison Crowder re-signed with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday on an undisclosed one-year deal, according to a source. In his return to D.C. in 2023, Crowder caught just 16 passes on 20 targets for 159 yards and one touchdown in 17 games played. The 30-year-old veteran slot man mostly served as the team's punt returner last year and will once again play a depth role at the receiver position in 2024 behind Jahan Dotson. Washington originally made Crowder a fourth-round pick in 2015 out of Duke. His best season came in Year 2 in 2016, when he caught 67 passes for a career-high 847 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games. Unless injuries strike to several Commanders pass-catchers in 2024, it's unlikely that Crowder will be on the fantasy radar at this stage of his career.
Seattle Seahawks perennial Pro Bowler and All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner is signing a one-year deal worth a maximum value of $8.5 million on Wednesday with the Washington Commanders, according to sources. The deal includes $6 million in guarantees. New Commanders head coach Dan Quinn was with Wagner for a decade in Seattle and will be reuniting on the East coast. Despite his age (33), the former second-round pick in 2012 out of Utah State continues to be a starting commodity in IDP fantasy leagues after he generated a league-high 183 combined tackles (96 solo), 3.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, six QB hits and a fumble recovery in 17 games in his return to Seattle in 2023. Wagner is a huge addition for a Washington defense that was regularly trampled last season.
Free-agent safety and special teams ace Jeremy Reaves is signing a two-year deal to remain with the Washington Commanders, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The 27-year-old was named a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro in 2022 for his special teams ability, but he played in just five games in 2023 due to a partially torn ACL. Overall, Reaves has posted 108 tackles and one sack in 45 career games. He's unlikely to earn much playing time at safety for new head coach Dan Quinn, but the organization wanted to bring him back as a special teams leader.
