And they have found one in Austin Ekeler, who’s heading to the nation’s capital on a short-term deal.</p><p>According to the latest updates, Ekeler is <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1767322959725592815" rel="noopener">signing a two-year contract</a> worth up to $11.43 million, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Ekeler is getting a $3 million signing bonus and total of $4.82 million in the first year of the deal. He could also earn an additional $1.5 million in incentives in the 2024 season.</p><p>The Commanders already have a need for a quarterback heading to free agency, but that need was only further highlighted after Antonio Gibson opted to leave the team and <a href="https://trello.com/c/1PusrZB2/304383-patriots-news-new-england-brings-back-michael-onwenu-with-massive-57-million-deal" rel="noopener">sign with the New England Patriots</a>.</p><p>Fortunately for the Commanders, they were able to resolve that need quickly in Ekeler. The former Los Angeles Chargers running back is exactly the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2024-nfl-free-agency-10-best-running-backs-available" rel="noopener">type of RB Washington wants</a>–someone who can also catch passes and score. The 28-year-old is actually one of the best pass-catching RBs in the NFL in recent years, making him a great fit in Washington.</p><p>While he had a down season by his standards in 2023, it’s worth noting that Ekeler still recorded 628 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground. The Nebraska native also tallied 436 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.</p><p>With Ekeler in the fold, the Commanders should be able to field a more talented offensive unit in the upcoming season. As they are expected to welcome a new quarterback in the draft, having more weapons should make life a little bit easier for the rookie.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Moreover, New England made a decisive <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tag/nfl-free-agency" rel="noopener">NFL Free Agency</a> move to bolster their running game with ex-Commanders running back Antonio Gibson.</p><h2><b>Patriots bolster rushing depth with productive RB</b></h2><p>After spending four seasons with the Commanders, Antonio Gibson <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1767259902982971880" rel="noopener">is signing with</a> the Patriots, per Ian Rapoport. The details of the deal have not been revealed yet. Nevertheless, Gibson should be a supportive addition <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mac-jones-trade-grade-patriots-jaguars-deal" rel="noopener">to New England’s offense</a>.</p><p>Gibson’s best year came in 2021 when he rushed for 1,037 yards and seven touchdowns on 258 carries in 16 games with the Commanders. He did not have as productive a season in 2023, amassing 265 yards and one TD. However, he only carried the ball 65 times. Gibson could take a step forward with his new opportunity.</p><p>Ezekiel Elliot led the Patriots’ 2023 rushing attack along with Rhamondre Stevenson. Elliot ran for 642 total yards and 3 TDs, while Stevenson accumulated 619 yards and 4 TDs. Adding Gibson to the rotation should bode well for New England, considering their subpar offensive performance.</p><p>The Patriots finished the regular season with a record of 4-13 and failed to make the NFL Playoffs. As a result, the team decided it was time to part ways with legendary head coach Bill Belichick. In January 2024, New England hired Jerod Mayo as the team’s next leader.</p><p>Shortly after, the team named Alex Van Pelt its next offensive coordinator. It will be interesting to see how the Patriots’ leadership continues to restructure the roster as NFL Free Agency gets underway.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One big question for Washington is whether or not running back Antonio Gibson would suit up as he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-antonio-gibson-injury-intriguing-update-thanksgiving-cowboys" rel="noopener">deals with a toe injury</a>. However, the Commanders will have Gibson <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1727779051996094690" rel="noopener">active</a>, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.</p><p>‘Commanders RB Antonio Gibson, a game-time decision and questionable with a toe injury, is active today. A boost for Washington.’</p><p>Gibson was a game-time decision all week long after he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-antonio-gibson-likely-out-vs-giants" rel="noopener">missed the game</a> against the New York Giants in Week 11, but this is encouraging news for Washington, as they have lost back-to-back games and have a tough test against the Cowboys.</p><p>Gibson has had a bit of a disappointing season, rushing for just 137 yards and no scores and catching 30 passes for 269 yards and a pair of scores. He is third on the team in rushing behind Brian Robinson and Sam Howell, so there is a lot left to be desired for him.</p><p>His rushing numbers have taken a significant step backward, and he has yet to rush for more than 35 yards in a game and has more than 20 yards just once this season. The good news is that he has done some damage as a pass-catcher, including six catches for 42 yards and a score against the Seattle Seahawks in the last game he played, and the emergence and play of Brian Robinson has likely led to Gibson being utilized more in that type of role.</p><p>All in all, the Commanders having Gibson available is a big boost.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
