"Ford looked like a potential long-term starter once upon a time, going over 1,100 yards from scrimmage with nine touchdowns in 2023. The former Alabama and Cincinnati college star wasn't able to build on this positive momentum, and his role in Cleveland completely diminished after the team drafted Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson last spring."
"There will be no guarantees. The Commanders are giving Ford a chance to impose himself, but a lot of hard work is ahead. Adjusting to David Blough's schematic concepts, embracing the team's culture under head coach Dan Quinn, and maximizing every opportunity over the summer will only serve him well."
The Washington Commanders bolstered their running back room by signing Jerome Ford to a one-year contract after losing Chris Rodriguez Jr. to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ford previously produced over 1,100 yards from scrimmage with nine touchdowns in 2023 with the Cleveland Browns but saw his role diminish significantly in 2025 following the team's draft selections. The Commanders view Ford as a low-risk opportunity to salvage his career. Ford must adapt to offensive coordinator David Blough's system and head coach Dan Quinn's culture while maximizing opportunities during training camp. The signing does not preclude Washington from potentially adding another running back during the 2026 NFL Draft.
