It's a large contract relative to Brown's production -- at least if the initial figures prove semi-accurate -- but it perhaps shouldn't be a total surprise in light of his performance during the 2024 playoffs. After averaging 0.9 catches for 12.4 yards in 63 career regular-season games, Brown exploded for a 14-229-1 receiving line on 18 targets during Washington's three-game playoff run. He's a 2021 third-round pick with 4.46 speed and only 25 years old, so there's reason to think Brown can help the Jacksonville offense even though he's unlikely to draw a lot of targets. The Jaguars recently released WR Christian Kirk and TE Evan Engram, leaving WRs Brian Thomas, Gabe Davis (knee) and Parker Washington and TE Brenton Strange as the top returning pass catchers from last season.

Zaccheaus had a bounceback with Washington last year, forming a nice pairing with rookie QB Jayden Daniels to the tune of 45 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets over 20 games between the regular season and playoffs. With veteran WR Keenan Allen hitting free agency this week, Zaccheaus will fill the opening left behind alongside DJ Moore and Rome Odunze while getting to work with another signal-caller from the 2024 class in Caleb Williams.

Ertz can earn up to $9 million with incentives. Returning to Washington always made the most sense for the 34-year-old tight end after he appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Commanders last season, reeling in 66 of 91 targets for 654 yards and seven touchdowns as one of Jayden Daniels' safety blankets in the middle of the field and red zone. Ertz's seven scores were his most since back-to-back eight-TD seasons in 2017 and 2018 with the Eagles. He also had a productive postseason, securing 18 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown, including an 11-104-0 effort in the NFC championship loss to Philadelphia. Ertz should once again lead Washington's tight end room in 2025.

Washington Commanders vs
Detroit Lions Prediction
In this upcoming matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Football Team, the odds are heavily stacked in favor of the Lions, as they boast a solid 71.0% chance of coming out on top. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs is projected to have a strong performance, with a forecast of 91.0 rushing yards and a high likelihood of scoring at least one rushing touchdown at 71.0%. On the flip side, in the 29.0% of simulations where Washington emerges victorious, quarterback Jayden Daniels shines with an average of 2.52 touchdown passes per game versus just 0.51 interceptions. However, if Washington falls short, Daniels' touchdown-interception ratio drops to 1.73 TDs to 1.08 interceptions.
It will be crucial for Washington's success that running back Austin Ekeler shows up big on game day. When Washington notches a win, Ekeler is expected to contribute 48.0 rushing yards and 0.18 rushing touchdowns, compared to a less impressive 31.0 yards and 0.07 touchdowns in losses. The Detroit Lions' defense holds a strong advantage with a 77.0% chance of forcing more turnovers than they commit. This could prove to be a game-changer for the Lions, as their ability to generate turnovers greatly increases their chances of emerging victorious by an impressive margin of 80.0%.
