Forrest to the Bills
Forrest, 25, was a fifth-round pick by Washington in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati. He was viewed as a rising piece of Washington’s defense when Ron Rivera was coaching the team, starting 16 games across the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
However, a shoulder injury cut his 2023 season short after just five weeks, and upon his return, he didn’t get as much playing time as he did before.
Forrest played primarily on special teams this past season, but now he heads to the Bills, where he hopes to compete for playing time in a secondary that needs a safety while also having the chance to play for a Super Bowl ring as well.
