The Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels have taken care of some important business a month before training camp. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the two sides have agreed to a four-year contract.
Daniels’ deal comes with $37.75 million fully guaranteed, which includes a signing bonus of $24.3 million. Daniels is the highest draft pick to sign his rookie contract so far this year, with Caleb Williams still awaiting his deal in Chicago.
Daniels was the No. 2 overall pick out of LSU and is now under contract through the 2027 season. As a first-round pick, Daniels’ contract also comes with a fifth-year option in 2028, which will come with a significant raise if the Commanders pick it up.
