Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy added a familiar face to the Washington Commanders roster on Monday by signing talented running back Derrick Gore.

Gore, who was a free agent heading into training camp, was a member of Bieniemy’s offense in 2021 and a member of the Chiefs’ roster that season.
Bieniemy is looking to emulate Kansas City’s strategy for success in Washington in his first year as an NFL head coach and has added several former Chiefs to the team’s 90-man roster to compete for spots as the Commanders restructure their depth chart ahead of the 2023 season.
Gore joins former teammates Byron Pringle, Marcus Kemp, and Andrew Wylie in the Commanders’ offense, which should look drastically different with Bieniemy calling the shots.
Watch for Washington to take every page they can out of Andy Reid’s playbook over the course of the coming months as the Commanders look to rejuvenate their recently-sold franchise and return to relevance over the course of the next several years.
