The Washington Commanders and quarterback Jayden Daniels agreed to a four-year, $37.7 million rookie-scale contract on Friday, his agent revealed (via NFL Network's Ian Rapoport).

The Commanders also confirmed the signing:

Daniels' deal carries a fifth-year option for the 2028 season. The Commanders will have to make a decision about that option in the 2027 offseason.

Under the NFL's rookie wage scale, Daniels' full $37.7 million is guaranteed. Teams and players typically only have to negotiate the finer points of the contract, including offsets and bonuses.
