Commanders Re-Sign ERFA RB Chris Rodriguez

Exclusive rights contracts are essentially one-year minimum contracts based on the number of accrued seasons a player has.

Rodriguez, 24, was a sixth-round pick to the Commanders out of Kentucky in 2023. He signed a four-year, $4 million contract through 2026. 

Washington waived him after training camp this year but he caught back on the practice squad. He was waived after being elected to the active roster three times and re-signed to the active roster.

In 2024, Chris Rodriguez appeared in nine games for the Commanders and rushed for 173 yards on 35 carries (4.9 YPC) and two touchdowns.
