The Washington Commanders are ready to start a new era in the NFL with Jayden Daniels as their starting quarterback. After winning the 2023 Heisman Trophy with LSU, the sky is the limit for the young prospect.
Daniels was selected by the Commanders with the No.2 overall pick after the Chicago Bears took Caleb Williams. Although there’s a lot of excitement about the rookie’s potential, it’s not going to be easy in a very crowded NFC East.
The Dallas Cowboys are favorites with names like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb or Micah Parsons, while the Philadelphia Eagles are making big moves to help Jalen Hurts. That’s why Washington could make a big splash to boost their chances with Brandon Aiyuk.
Will the 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk?
Just a few days ago, the San Francisco 49ers only had two possible options regarding Brandon Aiyuk and his future. A contract extension for the wide receiver or a trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Aiyuk had already turned down trade offers from the New England Patriots and the Cleveland Browns. No one expected the Commanders as a possible suitor to get the star.
