On Monday morning, the Philadelphia Eagles experienced a setback as they saw a young member of their talented offensive lineup depart to a rival NFC East team in free agency. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders bolstered their offense by acquiring a wide receiver after already securing a running back during the Easter holiday.
In response, the Philadelphia Eagles sought to enhance their offensive prowess by acquiring talent from within the NFC East through free agency. They successfully signed former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell. With Campbell joining their ranks, they allowed Olamide Zaccheaus to explore opportunities in free agency.
Confirming this move, the Washington Commanders announced the signing of Olamide Zaccheaus for the upcoming 2024 season.
Zaccheaus, who boasts a career tally of over 100 receptions, began his NFL journey as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons following the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent the 2023 season with the Eagles.
The 26-year-old Virginia native has accumulated impressive stats in his five-year NFL career, including 104 receptions, 1,492 receiving yards, and ten touchdowns. Notably, he contributed significantly to the Eagles last season with 10 receptions, 164 yards receiving, and two touchdowns.
