The Washington Commanders have solidified their tight end position by re-signing Zach Ertz to a one-year deal worth $6.25 million, which could escalate to $9 million through incentives. His performance last season was pivotal, highlighted by 66 receptions on 91 targets, totaling 654 yards and seven touchdowns. Ertz's reliability has been crucial for quarterback Jayden Daniels, particularly in red zone situations, making him an integral part of the Commanders' offense.

His contributions were particularly notable during the playoffs, where he accumulated 18 receptions for 155 yards, including an impressive 11-catch, 104-yard game in the NFC Championship against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Ertz returning, the Commanders aim for continuity and a strong offensive presence as they look forward to a successful 2025 season.
