Washington Commanders Sign Former Steelers WR Martavis Bryant

Bryant Returns to NFL After Six-Year Absence

Commanders Bolster Receiving Corps with Experienced Pass Catcher

The Washington Commanders have made a significant addition to their offense, signing former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant on Tuesday. Bryant, who last played in the NFL in 2018, has signed a one-year deal with the Commanders.

Bryant brings a wealth of experience to the Commanders' receiving corps. The 29-year-old has caught 144 passes for 2,183 yards and 17 touchdowns in his NFL career. He has also shown a knack for making big plays, averaging 15.2 yards per reception.

Bryant's signing is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Commanders. He has the potential to be a valuable contributor to the offense, especially if he can regain the form that made him one of the most promising young receivers in the NFL just a few years ago.

The Commanders are hoping that Bryant can help them improve their passing game, which was one of their biggest weaknesses last season. The team ranked 31st in the NFL in passing yards per game and 29th in passer rating.

Bryant will have the opportunity to compete for a starting role alongside fellow wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel. He could also be used as a situational receiver, such as in the red zone or on third down.

Bryant's signing is the latest move by the Commanders to improve their team this offseason. The team has also signed quarterback Carson Wentz, running back Antonio Gibson, and defensive end Chase Young.
