Commanders officially announce the signings of 12 undrafted free agents
The 2023 NFL draft is over, and most NFL teams are putting the finishing touches on their undrafted free agent class.
The Washington Commanders drafted seven players in the draft. On Saturday afternoon, the Commanders quickly went to work adding priority free agents. One of the first to sign with Washington was former Penn State wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley.
Who else did the Commanders? In total, Washington signed 12 undrafted free agents and invited several more to compete at the team’s rookie minicamp.
