Commanders sign free-agent WR Van Jefferson
The Washington Commanders continued to build depth through free agency and signed veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson on Tuesday.
The team did not announce terms of the deal.
Jefferson played his first three-plus seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, who selected him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He won Super Bowl LVI with Los Angeles following the 2021 season.
The Rams traded him to the Falcons on Oct. 10, 2023, for a late-round draft pick, and he appeared in 12 games with Atlanta. Single seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans followed.
With Tennessee in 2025, Jefferson appeared in 16 games (seven starts) and caught 29 passes for 350 yards and a touchdown.
In 94 career games (54 starts), Jefferson has 166 receptions, 2,226 receiving yards and 13 scores.
