The Commanders re-signed linebacker/core special teams player Nick Bellore to a two-year deal Thursday, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Bellore, 35, spent last season with Washington, playing seven defensive snaps and 334 on special teams.

He has played more special teams snaps than defensive snaps in every season in his career aside from 2016 when he started 10 games at inside linebacker for the 49ers.

Bellore began his career with the Jets in 2011 and spent four years in New York before going to San Francisco for two, Detroit for two and Seattle for five. He joined the Commanders a year ago after his second Pro Bowl as a special teamer.

He has 268 career tackles.

Bellore, a native of St. Paul, Minnesota, played collegiately at Central Michigan four seasons (2007-10).

Brown (6-2, 225) is a seven-year NFL veteran who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round (239th overall) in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 87 games, making 34 starts and has caught 150 receptions for 2,000 yards and six touchdowns.

Last season for Washington, Brown played in 11 games with nine starts and recorded 35 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown. Brown's one touchdown reception was a Hail Mary to defeat the Chicago Bears in Week 8.

Prior to joining the Commanders, he spent one season in Houston where he played in 10 games with seven starts and registered 33 receptions for a career-high 567 yards and two touchdowns.
