Washington Commanders Re-Sign Hail Mary Hero To 1-Year Deal
The Washington Commanders’ front office has been busy this offseason. They have pulled off two blockbuster trades. One netted them All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel, and the other fortified their offensive line with Laremy Tunsil. It hasn’t just been trades. The team has signed many players in free agency as they try to build on the success from last season. One of the most iconic moments from last year was the Hail Mary victory against the Chicago Bears. The team is bringing back the players who caught the pass, wide receiver Noah Brown.
Washington Commanders Re-Sign Noah Brown
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports it is a one-year, $4.5 million deal for Noah Brown. The former seventh-round pick spent seasons in Dallas and Houston before signing with the Washington Commanders last season. He was a solid contributor in the offense. Brown caught 35 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown. The one touchdown was an important one. Brown was standing behind the crowd of players defending the ball. When it popped up in the air, he was there to catch it, and the celebration was on.
Brown should still have a role for the Washington Commanders this season. He knows the offense already, which is a plus. Every team deals with injuries throughout the season. If Terry McLaurin or Samuel has to miss any time, they have a solid replacement waiting in the wings. Brown could also be the beneficiary of the attention of opposing defenses being on the two star receivers.
2025 Outlook
The Washington Commanders are not letting this opportunity slip past them. They have re-signed many of the key veterans, like Bobby Wagner and Zach Ertz. The front office has continued to sign savvy veterans to try and improve in certain areas. Whenever a team has a quarterback on a rookie deal, the strategy is to load up and go for a Super Bowl. Jayden Daniels showed excellent playmaking and poise throughout the year. If he can be even better in 2025, this team will be dangerous.
The NFC East is one of the toughest divisions in football. Washington will have to compete with the defending Super Bowl champions who have also not been shy about spending in free agency. Can the Commanders get the top seed in the NFC and end their Super Bowl drought?
