The Washington Commanders continue to bring back key contributors to their 2024 team that won 12 games and played in the NFC championship game. One night after re-signing defensive end Clelin Ferrell, the Commanders are bringing back defensive lineman Jalyn Homes on a one-year deal.
The Commanders initially signed the 29-year-old Holmes on October 16, and he became a part of their defensive line rotation for the remainder of the season, including in the playoffs. In 11 games for Washington, Holmes recorded 14 tackles, including five for loss, and two sacks. Before his time with the Commanders, Holmes appeared in five games for the New York Jets.
Holmes's agent broke the news.
The 6-foot-5, 283-pound Holmes entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2018 NFL draft. After three seasons with Minnesota, Holmes spent time with the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, and the Chicago Bears, in addition to the Jets and Commanders. The 2015 season will be Holmes's eighth NFL season.
Holmes excelled in a reserve role for Washington, appearing in 23% of the Commanders' defensive snaps. The Norfolk, Virginia, native offers versatility, playing inside or on the edge.
