It's been a rocky second professional season for quarterback Jayden Daniels. The pendulum completely shifted after a phenomenal rookie campaign, and the Washington Commanders have now decided to put the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft out of his misery.
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the Commanders have officially shut Daniels down for the final three games, bringing his campaign to an abrupt halt. He reportedly didn't like it, but the quick turnaround in Week 16 and 17, coupled with the fact that he hasn't been cleared for contact yet, left the staff with one viable option.
