Reaves, 28, has a first-team All-Pro nod on his resume for ST contributions and will remain a central part of this equation under the Adam Peters-Dan Quinn regime.<\/p>\n<p>Acquired during the Bruce Allen-Jay Gruden years, Reaves has remained in his role through the Ron Rivera period and into Peters\u2019 GM run. Peters has overhauled the Commanders\u2019 roster to the point Reaves is the team\u2019s second-longest-tenured player \u2014 behind only punter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WayxTr00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-11_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tress Way<\/a>, who has been with the team since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>A 2018 UDFA, Reaves has made 11 career starts. None have come over the past two seasons, as the veteran safety has settled into his role as a pure special-teamer. Reaves has played only four defensive snaps since 2023, having logged 70% and 68% ST snap rates in those years. He reached an 81% rate in 2022, collecting first-team All-Pro honors for his work in the niche role. The South Alabama alum also notched a forced fumble during Washington\u2019s narrow wild-card loss to Tampa Bay in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Helping the Commanders to an unexpected playoff berth last season, Reaves made 20 tackles in his seventh Washington slate. He had been tied to a two-year, $6MM deal. Peters signed off on that contract weeks into his GM tenure. By agreeing to new terms already, the second-year Commanders exec certainly appears to like the Allen-era acquisition\u2019s fit on the rejuvenated team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeremy Reaves\u2018 Commanders tenure is now set to extend beyond this season.
