"Jayden Daniels' second season went horribly for a multitude of reasons. The Washington Commanders quarterback couldn't stay healthy. His on-field production wasn't anywhere near his rookie standard. And with the team going through the motions down the stretch, those in power opted to shut him down to prevent any additional damage. Daniels was expected to rest and get healthy this offseason in pursuit of hitting the ground running in 2026."
"Daniels will captain one team, with Tom Brady on the other side. Getting the chance to compete against the seven-time Super Bowl winner was too tempting to ignore, and the money was probably even more difficult to turn down. Even so, some sections of the fan base were completely perplexed by the Commanders' decision to sanction this.

Jayden Daniels' second season suffered significant setbacks from injuries and declining production, prompting a late-season shutdown to avoid further damage. Daniels was expected to rest and recover in the offseason to prepare for 2026. The Commanders face increased pressure after parting ways with both coordinators, heightening the need for a fully healthy quarterback. Daniels confirmed participation in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh on March 21, captaining one team opposite Tom Brady. The announcement generated mixed reactions and fan frustration given Daniels' hamstring, knee, and elbow issues. Fanatics is organizing the event with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as part of an international brand push.
