Commanders news: Adam Peters, Dan Quinn, Sam Howell and Jayden Daniels
By Dean Jones
Which Washington Commanders news stories are hitting the headlines after Dan Quinn and Dave Canales' media availability at the NFL Scouting Combine?
Dan Quinn and Adam Peters have a lot of hard work ahead this offseason. The wheels of change are officially in motion. More importantly, the Washington Commanders can be classed as armed and dangerous with so many assets at their disposal during free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft.
As expected, there was a lot to unpack. Something likely to remain throughout what promises to be an immensely busy few weeks. Among the stories generating debate recently include Jayden Daniels' big meeting, Sam Howell's future aspirations, Quinn's praise for a free-agent defensive piece, and Peters doing much more than scouting prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Let's delve into each topic in more detail.
Commanders to meet with Jayden Daniels
All the talk currently centers on what the Washington Commanders have planned for the quarterback position heading into the offseason. We should find out more about the Chicago Bears' intentions after Ryan Poles revealed that Justin Fields' future will be resolved before free agency. This will cause a ripple effect with others who are also seeking a new option at football's most important position.
The Commanders are doing their due diligence to prepare for every eventuality. The NFL Scouting Combine is the perfect place to find out more about different personalities of interest. Jayden Daniels - the LSU signal-caller who won the Heisman Trophy in 2023 - will meet with Washington's power structure on Wednesday.
Daniels is expected to be one of the first signal-callers taken. It took him a while to get going in college, but his phenomenal rise to prominence last season and game-changing capabilities out of structure make him an intriguing candidate to spearhead the Commanders' new era.
