The Commanders and Steelers are finalizing a trade for William Jackson III that will send the veteran cornerback to Pittsburgh in exchange for draft compensation, as first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Washington and Pittsburgh will swap late-round picks in 2025, according to Rapoport, with the Commanders receiving a conditional sixth-round pick and the Steelers getting a conditional seventh-rounder.
Jackson hasn’t played for the Commanders since Week 5, and Rapoport reports that both sides were seeking a fresh start. The 30-year-old defensive back reportedly had requested a trade in mid-October and now gets his wish.
