What happened: Washington signed Robertson to a two-year, $16 million contract with $9.3 million guaranteed. He joins new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones for the 2026 season.
Why it matters: The guaranteed money gives Robertson a clear path to a prominent role in Washington's secondary. His experience offers Jones an established option as the defense installs a new system.
By the numbers: Robertson played all 17 games for Detroit in 2025, making 10 starts, 52 tackles and one interception.
What to watch: Robertson's preseason usage will show where he fits in Jones' coverage packages.
