Jayden Daniels power struggle delivers the ending Commanders fans saw coming
Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters | The Washington Post/GettyImagesJayden Daniels won't play for the Washington Commanders again in 2025. It's been a turbulent campaign for the franchise quarterback, but those in power have finally taken drastic measures to prevent long-term damage.
It was a power struggle in the end. And there was only going to be one winner.
You had Daniels, who is highly competitive, desperate to play and help his teammates. You had head coach Dan Quinn, who is player-centric and wants to salvage something from a lost campaign. You also had general manager Adam Peters, whom fans believe may have forced the issue to protect his investment.
