The Washington Commanders are signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White to a one-year contract, his agent confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.

The move reunites White, 27, with his former Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels. Financial terms were not immediately available.

White rushed for 572 yards and four touchdowns and caught 40 passes for 218 yards in 17 games (eight starts) with the Buccaneers in 2025.

A third-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2022, White has rushed for 2,656 yards and 14 TDs and added 205 catches for 1,450 yards and 11 scores in 67 career games (48 starts).

In Washington, White bolsters a backfield that includes 2025 seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Former Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday.
