Former Indianapolis Colts safety Nick Cross has reached an agreement on a contract with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday, according to a report per source.
Nick Cross joins the Commanders after completing four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, who originally selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of the University of Maryland. The move represents a return to the Maryland area for the veteran defensive back, who established himself as a versatile contributor in the secondary during his tenure in Indianapolis.
The Washington Commanders have not yet officially announced the financial terms or the duration of the contract. Cross is expected to provide a physical presence and veteran experience to a Washington defensive unit looking to strengthen its depth during the 2026 free agency cycle. At 24 years old, Cross remains a high-upside talent with significant starting experience at the professional level.
Further details regarding his specific role in the Washington Commanders defense are expected to be clarified as the team moves toward its offseason program. This signing is one of several moves expected as the team addresses its secondary needs this spring.
