The 2025 NFL offseason has officially begun. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, meaning all 32 teams were officially in offseason mode.
Two weeks ago, the Washington Commanders began their offseason after losing to the Eagles in the NFC championship. While the Commanders fell short of the Super Bowl, they began their offseason much later than they’re accustomed to.
One of the first moves every NFL team makes is to sign players to reserve/futures contracts. Essentially, these contracts add the players to the team’s 90-man offseason roster, allowing them to participate in the offseason program and training camp.
Washington signed several players after the season and added veteran offensive tackle Bobby Hart last week. On Monday, the Commanders added another NFL veteran to an offseason contract, signing cornerback Bobby Price.
If the name sounds familiar, Price, like Hart, spent time on Washington’s 2024 roster. While Hart didn’t appear in a game, Price did, appearing in three games, making one tackle. The 6-foot-3 cornerback did not play one defensive snap but did play 34 special teams snaps.
Price, 26, entered the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent from Norfolk State. He spent three seasons with the Detroit Lions. In 2023, Price was with the Arizona Cardinals.
The Commanders clearly see something they like with Price. Assistant general manager Lance Newmark was with the Lions when Detroit signed Price as an undrafted free agent.
Washington enters the offseason still needing more help at cornerback and Price will have an entire offseason to prove he should stick.
