Source: TE Zach Ertz reaches one-year deal with Commanders

Veteran tight end Zach Ertz has agreed to a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders, a source told ESPN.

The move reunites Ertz with Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, his former head coach with the Arizona Cardinals.

Ertz, 33, fills a need for the Commanders, who released tight end Logan Thomas last week.

Ertz signed with the Detroit Lions' practice squad before the NFC Championship Game but was not elevated to the active roster for that game.
