Sunday was a busy night for former Commanders. Earlier on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys signed future Hall of Famer Von Miller to a one-year deal. Miller spent last season with Washington, playing in all 17 games and leading the team with nine sacks.
Also on Sunday night, a player Washington fans will remember fondly also found a new home, as the Las Vegas Raiders signed wide receiver Noah Brown. Brown, 30, spent his first six NFL seasons with the Cowboys before spending the 2023 season with the Houston Texans. He played for the Commanders the last two seasons.
When you think of Brown, two words come to mind: Hail Mary. While injuries marred Brown’s two years in Washington, he will forever be remembered for his game-winning touchdown catch from Jayden Daniels on Oct. 27, 2024, to defeat the Chicago Bears. The 52-yard touchdown was named the NFL’s Moment of the Year from the 2024 season.

In the 2024 season, Brown played in 11 games, making nine starts, and he caught 35 passes for 453 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, in 2025, Brown appeared in only four games due to injuries and finished with five receptions for 83 yards.
The Commanders allowed Brown and Deebo Samuel to depart this offseason, and re-signed Dyami Brown after a year in Jacksonville, added veteran Van Jefferson, used a third-round pick on Antonio Williams, and earlier this month, signed four-time Pro Bowl wideout Stefon Diggs.
With the Raiders, Brown has a real shot to not only make the 53-man roster, but earn a significant role.
