What happened: The Washington Commanders signed veteran tight end Anthony Firkser and released wide receiver Ja'Corey Brooks, the team announced. The dual roster move came on a busy June 2 across the NFL.

Why it matters: The signing gives the Commanders an experienced hand at tight end as they reshape the depth chart ahead of the 2026 season. Releasing Brooks clears a spot and signals continued churn at the back end of Washington's receiver room.

What to watch: Watch how Firkser factors into Washington's tight end rotation through the offseason program and training camp, and whether the Commanders make further moves at receiver.
