Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Patriots and Commanders.
Albert Haynesworth
Albert Haynesworth made a name for himself during seven seasons with the Tennessee Titans, earning two Pro Bowl selections and 1st Team All-Pro honors in 2007 and 2008. His performances led to a record-breaking $100 million contract with the Washington Redskins in 2009.
However, he struggled to meet expectations in Washington, facing issues like disagreements with coaches, suspension, and failure to meet conditioning requirements.
His subsequent stints with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were also disappointing, leading to his retirement after the 2011 season.

Galloway finished with stops with the Patriots and the Washington Football Team. He ended his career in 2010 with over 10,000 receiving yards and 77 receiving touchdowns.
