Washington, a 26-year-old safety now with the New York Giants, joins one of the NFL&#8217;s most active agencies at a critical point in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TCU product spent five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens after going undrafted in 2021. He broke out in 2024 with 64 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 8 pass breakups across 17 games, earning the starting safety role in Baltimore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A torn Achilles in May 2025 limited him to just 4 games that season, but he bounced back to land a one-year, $3 million deal with the Giants in March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith, an NFLPA-certified agent based at Athletes First since 2017, was also part of the agency team behind the recent Mike Jackson Sr. signing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency has been stacking elite defensive talent fast: <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/tank-dell-signs-with-athletes-first-for-representation\/\">Tank Dell<\/a>, Cordale Flott, and Jordan McFadden were all added to the Athletes First roster in 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Led by <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/agents\/david-mulugheta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David Mulugheta<\/a>, the first agent in NFL history to negotiate over $1 billion in contracts in a single year, Athletes First brings serious contract firepower to Washington&#8217;s corner as he works to re-establish himself in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a smart, timely move. Washington is entering what could be a prove-it season with the Giants, and having Athletes First behind him, the same agency that landed <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/jordan-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jordan Love&#8217;s<\/a> $220M deal, signals he and his team are thinking beyond 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trevon Smith is a rising name within the agency, having been part of multiple high-profile signings already this year. The agency&#8217;s aggressive run at elite defensive backs makes this feel less like a coincidence and more like a deliberate strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can Ar&#8217;Darius Washington stay healthy in 2026 and turn this one-year Giants deal into a multi-year contract? Is Athletes First building the most dominant defensive back representation stable in the NFL?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ar&#8217;Darius Washington has officially signed with Athletes First for NFL representation, with agent Trevon Smith leading his team.
