The Washington Commanders extended the contract of safety Jeremy Reaves, the team announced on Thursday without disclosing terms of the deal.
Reaves, a former first-team All-Pro known more for his special teams prowess, started a career-high eight of 17 games played last season, setting career marks for tackles (91), tackles for loss (five) and passes defensed (seven). He also recorded one interception and one sack.
For his career, Reaves, 29, has 219 tackles, two interceptions, two sacks, one forced fumble and 12 passes defensed in 81 regular-season games (19 starts) with Washington (2018-present).
He was selected a first-team All-Pro and the special teams starter on the Pro Bowl team in 2022.
The Philadelphia Eagles signed the undrafted free agent out of South Alabama in May 2018 and released him that September, when he signed with Washington’s practice squad.
