Overview

  • The 27-year-old informed coach Dan Quinn of his decision on Monday and was placed on the reserve/retired list Tuesday morning.
  • Herbig entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Eagles in 2019 and later had stints with the Jets and Steelers.
  • He agreed to a one-year, $1.33 million contract with Washington in March following a torn rotator cuff that ended his 2024 season.
  • Over six campaigns, he appeared in 61 games and started 30, including 12 starts in 2020 and 11 in 2022.
  • A combination of established veterans and recent additions along the interior line gives the Commanders enough depth to absorb his departure without major disruption.
