Jessica, who purchased the 7-bedroom property from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for $11.5 million in 2013, first listed the mansion for $22 million back in September 2023 ... but there weren't any serious takers during the months it was on the market. So, she pulled the listing last August.

We spoke with Fletcher following the Commanders' 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... and naturally, he sang the No. 2 overall pick's praises for his ability to get the team in the right direction in just his rookie year.

"There's times where they mentioned him with Hall of Famers," Fletcher said. "The Peyton Mannings, the Tom Bradys, the Drew Brees with some of the things that he's accomplished ... and it wasn't them accomplishing these things as rookies, these guys accomplished these things later in their careers."
