The Washington Commanders are signing free agent safety Nick Cross, according to a report from The Insiders. The move comes as Washington continues to aggressively bolster its roster and add depth to its defensive backfield during the ongoing free agency period.
Nick Cross brings a combination of speed and physicality to the Commanders secondary. The addition is part of a broader effort by the Washington front office to revamp the defense and provide new looks for the upcoming season. Per Ian Rapoport, the team has remained active in the market, and Cross represents another key piece in their defensive rebuild.
Details regarding the specific terms of the contract, including the length and financial guarantees, have not yet been made public. Cross, who has shown versatility in his coverage skills, is expected to compete for immediate playing time in the safety rotation. This signing marks another step in the Commanders' busy offseason as they continue to address needs across the depth chart.
