Olamide Zaccheaus, WR for the Eagles in the past, joins the Washington Commanders

In 2024, another wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles will not be coming back.

Olamdie Zaccheaus joined with a different team this week, and Quez Watkins found a new home with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week in NFL free agency.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Zaccheaus and the Washington Commanders have reached an agreement.

Now, when the Eagles play each other twice a year, Zaccheaus will be on the opposing sidelines.

Head coach Dan Quinn, who signed Zaccheaus as an undrafted free agent in 2019 while he was with the Atlanta Falcons, will get back together with the player.

As Washington’s new passing game coordinator and associate head coach, he will also work alongside former Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson.

With one start in every game during the previous fall, Zacchaeus caught 10 receptions for 164 yards and two scores. He contributed on special teams as well.

The former Virginia standout has played in 72 career games, 24 of which he has started, and has 104 receptions for 1,492 yards and 10 touchdowns in five different seasons.

In an effort to improve their wideout room with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles were hesitant to re-sign Watkins or Zaccheaus.

Instead, they added more receiving weapons in this year’s draft and signed free agent wide outs DeVante Parker and Parris Campbell to one-year contracts thus far.
