One day after agreeing to bring back Zach Ertz on a one-year contract, the Washington Commanders agreed with John Bates on a three-year deal, a person familiar with the terms said Sunday night, keeping the team’s tight end corps intact for at least another season.

The Washington Commanders are re-signing tight end John Bates to a three-year deal, according to NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo. The team locks in the 27-year-old through the 2028-29 season, one day after they re-sign veteran tight end Zach Ertz to a one-year deal.
