"The Commanders plugged a hole in their defense with the signing of Cross, who is only 24. It was important for the Commanders to get younger and better on defense this offseason, and Cross matches that criteria."
"Washington added Cross in March on a two-year contract 'worth up to' $14 million with just over $6 million guaranteed. His average annual value doesn't sniff the 20 highest-paid guys at his position."
"A Commanders squad that boasted the oldest roster in football and allowed the third-most rushing yards per game (141.8) last season ostensibly recognizes its flaws."
Nick Cross has been acknowledged as a key signing for the Washington Commanders, ranking 27th in Sports Illustrated's top-50 NFL free agency moves. His arrival addresses the team's need for youth and improved defense. Cross, previously with the Indianapolis Colts, signed a two-year contract worth up to $14 million. Despite concerns about his coverage skills, he has shown strong performance in solo and total tackles, making him a valuable asset for a team that struggled defensively last season.
