The Washington Commanders have signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White to a one-year deal, his agent told Adam Schefter.
The 27-year-old White spent four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he surpassed 1,000 scrimmage yards in both 2023 and 2024. He rushed for 572 yards and caught 40 passes for 218 yards for four total touchdowns last season while splitting time with Bucky Irving.
White’s arrival came just one day after Chris Rodriguez Jr. left Washington to join the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacory Croskey-Merritt was originally is the only halfback under contract with the Commanders up to that point. Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols, and Chase Edmonds remain unrestricted free agents.
To replace Rachaad White, the Bucs signed Kenneth Gainwell to fill the roster spot. Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker round out Tampa Bay’s tailback depth chart, with Bucky Irving likely being the starter and Gainwell backing him up.
White will now reunite with Arizona State teammate Jayden Daniels.
