After his teammates told him he needed to up his shoe game, he started buying a pair of Jordans in the color scheme of every team he defeated. When Heinicke first joined the Commanders in 2020, he only had two pairs of shoes in his closet: a pair of vans and a set of converse. He went 12-11-1 in those games and quickly became a fan favorite due to his underdog mentality, passion for the game, and camaraderie with his teammates.

The Taylor Heinicke era as a Commander came to an end Monday when Heinicke agreed to become a Falcon. He will be remembered as a leader.

Even more, we will recall how you were able several times to overcome those limitations and lead your team to victory in the final quarter. When you struggled against the Colts in Indy, you regained your composure and converted some big plays on that final drive to defeat the Colts. You were, after all, brought here to be the backup quarterback. Yet, you battled forward, and though the Commanders did not win big, you did lead them to win more when you were behind center. You were, however, a quarterback who never backed down from the situation at hand. Thank you for the four-game winning streak after Washington was 2-6 in 2021.

According to reports from NFL Network, the Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms with quarterback Taylor Heinicke on a two-year, $20 million contract.

For 2024, the contract has a base salary of $5 million, a $1.32 million roster bonus due on the fifth day of the 2024 league year, and up to $680,000 in per-game roster bonuses. He also receives a guaranteed base salary of $1.32 million in 2023, and up to $680,000 in per-game roster bonuses. The 29-year-old Heinicke has spent the past three seasons as backup QB for the Washington Commanders.

Washington also cut J.D. McKissic and tendered Jeremy Reaves. Heinicke's new contract is worth $14 million, with up to $20 million with incentives.

Last season was the first in which he made the initial active roster. The Commanders could also try to sign Reaves to a longer-term deal. Heinicke [earned the starting job](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/11/20/commanders-texans-taylor-heinicke-starting-qb/?itid=lk_inline_manual_15) (albeit briefly) and put the team in playoff contention. He signed with Washington weeks later and bounced on and off the active roster for four seasons. He epitomized the type of player Rivera sought in trying to improve Washington’s roster in his first few years: a less-heralded acquisition who proved more valuable than expected. The Commanders would then have the right to match whatever offer he might receive and keep him. … If I didn’t get the call to get called up [in 2020], I was going to hang it up and start a new chapter in my life.” pushed McKissic down on the depth chart in 2022, and McKissic’s health became an issue. Weeks later, he was called upon to be a backup and then the starter. [landed him a two-year deal](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/02/10/taylor-heinicke-signs-washington-football-team/?itid=lk_inline_manual_15).

On Tuesday, former Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke agreed to a two-year deal with his hometown Atlanta Falcons to be their backup, according to two people with knowledge of the deal.

While most Washington fans respect Heinicke and his story, they understand his limitations and that he is just a backup. Then, on the other hand, you have those ...
