Bringing back Brown comes after general manager Adam Peters acquired fellow receiver Deebo Samuel from San Francisco. Terry McLaurin, Samuel, Brown and Luke McCaffrey provide a good start at the wide receiver spot to coincide with the re-signed tight ends Zach Ertz and John Bates.

Brown's new deal with Washington is reportedly worth up to $4.5 million. The 29-year-old wideout operated as the team's No. 3 receiver across 11 regular-season appearances in 2024, finding modest success before landing on IR due to a kidney laceration sustained Week 13.
