The Commanders are signing Riley to a contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Riley suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Miami in 2024, but he only handled 42 defensive snaps in that span. He'll compete for a depth role on defense with Washington, but the bulk of his contributions will figure to come on special teams, if he manages to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Duke Riley: Breaking News
Confined to depth role in 2024
Riley notched 11 tackles (five solo) across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. Riley only missed one regular-season contest across his four years with Miami, but his production declined in 2024, as he was called upon to just 42 total defensive snaps. The 2017 third-round pick's only career year with a lower tackle total came back in 2019 as a member of the Falcons, when he suited up for just four games. Riley is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
