Free agent safety Nick Cross is signing with the Washington Commanders, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of The Insiders. The deal is reportedly a two-year contract worth up to $14 million.
The agreement, which was finalized by Win Sports Group, marks another significant addition for the Commanders as they look to bolster their defensive backfield. Nick Cross brings physical play and versatility to a Washington defense that has been active in the free agent market this offseason. The team has prioritized adding athletic playmakers to their secondary under the current coaching staff.
Cross, known for his speed and range, will look to make an immediate impact in the NFC East. The safety provides the Commanders with a reliable option in both deep coverage and run support as they continue to reshape their roster. Further details regarding the specific structure of the contract and the total guaranteed money have not yet been disclosed by the team or the agency.
As the NFL offseason continues, the Commanders remain focused on improving a unit that struggled at times last season. The addition of Cross is expected to provide much-needed stability to the safety rotation as the team prepares for training camp and the upcoming campaign.
