Overview
- Washington announced on social media that veteran punter Tress Way will return for the 2026 season.
- Multiple reporters, including The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala and ESPN’s Adam Schefter, report the extension is for one year, with financial terms not disclosed.
- Way earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2025 and led the NFL in percentage of punts inside the 20 (52.8%) while tying for fourth in net average (43.9).
- He has played 196 games for Washington since 2014, making him the team’s longest-tenured player and fifth on its all-time games list.
- The re-signing aligns with Washington’s effort to keep special teams steady under coordinator Larry Izzo as Dan Quinn revamps other parts of his staff.
