BREAKING NEWSWashington Commanders re-sign Zach Ertz on new $9m deal after Jayden Daniels partnership inspired playoff run

Commanders тιԍнт end Zach Ertz is re-signing with the team on a one-year, $6.25million contract after revitalizing his career in Washington, according to reports.

The deal for the three-time All-Pro could be worth up to $9m with incentives, according to multiple reports.

Ertz, 34, was a favorite target of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, in the 2024 season as Washington enjoyed an unlikely run to the NFC Championship game.

He started all 17 regular-season games in his first campaign with the team and caught 66 of 91 targets for 654 yards and seven touchdowns. Ertz also had 18 receptions for 155 yards and one TD in three playoff games as the Commanders advanced to the NFC Championship game, falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

A Pro Bowl selection in 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Stanford alumni has 775 career receptions for 8,088 yards and 53 touchdowns in 168 regular-season games (130 starts). He also has 54 receptions for 536 yards and three touchdowns in 11 playoff games (nine starts).

The Eagles selected Ertz in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Stanford. He played from 2013-2021 with Philadelphia, winning the Super Bowl in the 2017 season and setting the single-season reception mark for тιԍнт ends with 116 in 2018.

He was traded from the Eagles to the Arizona Cardinals in October 2021, where he played a total of 28 games as injuries limited him to 17 games in 2022 and 2023.

The Cardinals released him at his request in November 2023 and he signed with the Detroit Lions’ practice squad in January 2024. He became a free agent and signed with Washington on March 6, 2024.

Ertz was reunited with Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, his head coach in Arizona.

‘It was really an opportunity for me to just fall back in love with the game again and really just enjoy the process again and just be around people that know how to use me and allow me to be at my best,’ Ertz told The Washington Post in January. 

‘It’s just been so much fun. It’s exceeded all my expectations.’

Reports of Ertz’s new contract comes a few days after veteran middle linebacker Bobby Wagner agreed a new one-year deal in Washington.

Set to turn 35 this summer, Wagner led the Commanders with 132 tackles during the regular season and was named to his 10th Pro Bowl. He made 25 more during their playoff run as the centerpiece of a much-improved defense. 

However, reports suggest defensive tackle Jonathan Allen is being released by the team ahead of the 2025 season.
