Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter, citing agent Drew Rosenhaus, reported Thursday that Washington agreed to a one-year extension with Drake Jackson.
- The pact is characterized as at or near the league minimum after Jackson’s brief late-2025 return with the Commanders.
- Jackson appeared in three games in December, playing 61 defensive snaps and recording three tackles without a sack, tackle for loss, or quarterback hit.
- He missed all of 2024 following surgery for a torn patellar tendon suffered in 2023, was waived by the 49ers in the spring of 2025, signed with Washington in October, went to injured reserve, then was activated on December 4.
- Washington continues to bolster its defensive front with low-cost moves, having also re-signed Deatrich Wise and Shy Tuttle this week, while Jackson’s role will be evaluated in Jones’s scheme.
