Olamide Zaccheaus is not returning to the Eagles

Olamide Zaccheaus is not returning to the Philadelphia Eagles after signing a one-year contract last year.

The St. Joe’s Prep alumnus is instead headed south to sign with the Washington Commanders. It’s there OZ is reunited with former Eagles offensive coordinator and current Commanders assistant head coach/offensive pass game coordinator Brian Johnson.

Zaccheaus is also back together with Marcus Mariota, who he played with in Atlanta before coming to Philly. OZ overlapped with new Commanders head coach Dan Quinn on the Falcons from 2019-2020.

The Eagles seemingly signed OZ to compete with Quez Watkins for the third wide receiver role last year.
