Noah Igbinoghene appeared in 32 games for the Washington Commanders over the past two seasons. He made 12 starts and was a key part of Washington’s defensive backfield. However, this offseason, under new coordinator Daronte Jones, the Commanders chose to go in another direction, and the 26-year-old Igbinoghene hit free agency.

A first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, Igbinoghene spent three seasons there before he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in 2023. He played one season in Dallas, where Dan Quinn was his defensive coordinator.
In 2024, Quinn was hired as Washington’s head coach, and Igbinoghene was one of the many free agents the Commanders signed. After a productive 2024 season, Washington re-signed him to a one-year deal in 2025.
After departing the Commanders, Igbinoghene signed a one-year deal in March with the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Seattle released Igbinoghene this week during its final cuts, and he found himself searching for a new team again.
Igbinoghene didn’t have to wait long, as he signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday.
As for the Commanders, they signed cornerback Amik Robertson early in free agency, followed by Ahkello Witherspoon. Before training camp, Washington signed Rasul Douglas and then Witherspoon abruptly retired, leading the Commanders to sign Fabian Moreau. On Tuesday, they also signed Isaac Yiadom and Terell Smith to the practice squad.
