Mandatory Credit: Scott Galvin-Imagn Images Free-agent running back Jerome Ford agreed to a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders, NFL Network reported Saturday.
Ford leaves the Cleveland Browns after four seasons with the team that picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Last offseason, he agreed to reduce his 2025 salary by half -- from $3.49 million to a guaranteed $1.75 million -- to remain in Cleveland.
Ford, 26, was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 9 after not playing more than 17 snaps in a game since Week 6 when he was slowed by a hamstring injury. In 13 games (no starts) in the 2025 season, he had 73 yards rushing on 24 carries and 26 receptions for 103 yards.
His best season with the Browns came in 2023, when he gained 1,132 yards from scrimmage and scored nine touchdowns.
In his career, Ford has 1,463 rushing yards, 647 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 57 games (18 starts).
