The Washington Commanders have officially completed the signing of legendary New Orleans Saints star and future Hall of Famer to a 2-year, $13 million contract. The news was confirmed by the team’s front office early Thursday morning, as excitement builds among Commanders fans and league analysts alike.
Though the team has yet to make a formal press conference, sources close to the Commanders confirm that the veteran player passed his physical and finalized the deal late last night. This acquisition is being hailed as one of the most strategic and impactful moves of the Commanders’ offseason.
The player in question, whose resume includes multiple Pro Bowl appearances, All-Pro honors, and a Super Bowl championship, brings elite experience and leadership to a team that is aiming to re-establish itself as a powerhouse in the NFC East. Known for his discipline, high football IQ, and commanding presence on and off the field, his addition is expected to elevate the locker room and provide a much-needed boost to Washington’s young core.
According to insiders, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn played a vital role in the recruitment process. “This is a guy who still has plenty left in the tank,” Quinn reportedly told team officials. “His presence will be felt from day one — not just in how he plays, but in how he mentors and uplifts the entire roster.”
The 2-year, $13 million deal includes performance-based incentives and a guaranteed signing bonus, indicating the Commanders’ belief in the veteran’s ability to contribute immediately.
For Saints fans, this marks the end of an era. The beloved icon spent more than a decade in New Orleans, becoming a face of the franchise and a fan favorite. Tributes have already begun pouring in from former teammates, coaches, and fans, many of whom describe him as a “once-in-a-generation leader.”
Meanwhile, Commanders supporters are celebrating the arrival of a proven winner and future Hall of Famer. With this bold signing, Washington has sent a clear message to the rest of the NFL: they’re not just rebuilding — they’re coming to compete.
More details, including the official introductory press conference, are expected to follow within the next 24 hours.
