Jeremy McNichols, a 29-year-old free agent running back, has re-signed with the Commanders, citing his desire for competition and winning as pivotal factors. He expressed that his heart was set on returning to Washington rather than exploring other options, feeling disappointed after the previous NFC Championship. He emphasized building on the previous season’s foundation alongside his teammates and coaches and highlighted the positive impact of team veterans. McNichols remarked on the significance of starting the new season with a fresh perspective, aiming to pursue the ultimate goal of winning a Lombardi Trophy.
"It was here - it was here the whole time. I had a bad taste in my mouth after the NFC Championship game, and there were a few teams interested, but the Commanders were in my heart. This is where I wanted to be...I couldn't see myself wearing another jersey."
"Every season of my career started like this one: '0-0 and chasing a Lombardi.'"
"I think he fits the Commanders culture. I love to play football, love the DMV, my teammates and my coaches."
"With respect to the running back group, correcting mistakes and focusing on the season is our priority."
