Report: Tyler Ott to sign with the Commanders

The Ravens’ veteran long snapper is expected to sign with the Washington Commanders.

Another free agent special teams ace for the Baltimore Ravens from last season has found a new home. According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, veteran long snapper Tyler Ott will be signing a three-year deal to join the Washington Commanders.

Ott was quietly one of the best under-the-radar late summer signings that Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta made in 2023. He spent last season in Charm City filling in for 2022 Second-Team All-Pro Nick Moore, who suffered a torn Achilles just before training camp. The 32-year-old appeared in every game, recording a career-high four total tackles including three solos. He helped future Hall of Fame kicker Justin Tucker and 2022 fourth-rounder Jordan Stout have standout seasons.

A former Pro Bowler himself, Ott will be reunited with Larry Izzo — his former special teams coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks. Izzo is now serving in the same role with the Commanders.

The Ravens signed Moore to a two-year deal worth $2.4 million last March ahead of free agency and he is expected to be their starter once again in 2024.
