The Washington Commanders have agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract with wide receiver Dyami Brown, reuniting him with the team that drafted him in 2021. Brown spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars but had an inconsistent and disappointing year, leading to his return to Washington.

Why it matters

The Commanders are looking to bolster their receiving corps to support quarterback Jayden Daniels, and Brown's familiarity with the team and chemistry with Daniels make him an appealing option. The move also comes as the Commanders have been active in free agency, adding other pieces like Odafe Oweh, Rachaad White, and K'Lavon Chaisson.

The details

Brown appeared in 14 games with 6 starts for the Jaguars in 2025, catching 20 passes for 227 yards and 1 touchdown. However, he faded down the stretch and was an afterthought in the Jaguars' offense by the end of the season. In his 4 seasons with the Commanders, Brown played 63 games, catching 59 passes for 784 yards and 4 touchdowns. His best season came in 2024, his final year on his rookie contract, when he had 30 receptions for 308 yards and a touchdown.

  • Brown was drafted by the Commanders in 2021.
  • He spent the 2025 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
  • The Commanders signed Brown to a 1-year, $3 million contract on March 13, 2026.
