Commanders are re-signing wide receiver Noah Brown to 1-year deal, AP source says

Noah Brown, the wide receiver who caught rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels’ desperation pass against the Chicago Bears for one of the signature moments for the Washington Commanders last season is returning to the team. “And the way that he practices, the way that he sets the tempo and the dynamic, he’s going to be great for us and I’m really happy he’s signing back, too.” Brown, now 29, left Washington’s Dec. 1 game against Tennessee with what turned out to be a kidney injury and missed the rest of the season and the playoff run to the NFC championship game. “The more that we can bring guys in like that, whether it’s Laremy, whether it’s Deebo, the more that you can bring these guys in that have done it and played at a high level, I think that just raises the level of the young core that we have.” On Thursday, the Commanders also re-signed versatile interior offensive lineman Michael Deiter, who provides some depth and insurance with starting right guard Sam Cosmi coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. “That type of culture already existed here, and I’m so glad to be a part of it and you can tell that the type of guys that they’re bringing in, those are all guys that have that same mindset: dog mentality guys who just want to come in, get to work and get to it.” After Jeremy Chinn left to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders, Harris effectively becomes his replacement, joining following one season with New Orleans.
