The Washington Commanders released veteran TE Logan Thomas last week, and have now signed another veteran to replace him. Zach Ertz was reportedly signed today on a 1-year deal that is worth up to $5 million. Ertz played for new Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury on the Arizona Cardinals for parts of two seasons. He was entered the league as a third-round pick from Stanford for the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz was traded to the Cardinals in 2021, and then played under Kingsbury in 2022 until he tore his ACL and MCL in Week 10.
Ertz is 33 and has played for 11 seasons.
