No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels has reached an agreement with the Commanders on his rookie deal.
The quarterback’s four-year deal is worth $37.75 million, fully guaranteed and includes a $24.3 million signing bonus. The deal also has an option for a fifth year.
With Bears quarterback Caleb Williams still unsigned, Daniels becomes the highest draft pick to sign in the Class of 2024.
The Commanders have Daniels earning the job, but barring injury he will be Washington’s eighth Week 1 quarterback in as many seasons.
Daniels won the Heisman Trophy last season at LSU, completing 72.2 percent of his passes for 3,812 yards with 40 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also ran for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns.
