International Player Pathway program pays off a second time for Washington

Last year, the Washington Football Team entered new territory by signing a player under the International Player Pathway program. That player’s name was David Bada, a defensive lineman from Germany who spent the 2020 season on the Washington Practice Squad. This off-season, Bada was re-signed to provide depth for the team. His signing may possibly have been one of the reasons why the team felt comfortable releasing Caleb Brantley this week while holding on to the German.

Defensive lineman David Bada, I imagine, was pretty damned thrilled to be on the same team and in the same position room as Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne a year ago.
