Can Daniels be an MVP candidate in 2025?
Using DraftKings Sportsbook, CBS Sports has Daniels’ odds of winning MVP next season at +1000. Daniels was fifth behind Jackson, Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow.
CBS is going with Daniels as the early favorite.
Daniels put together a historic rookie season, leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship. He also became just the second player in league history to record 4,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in a season (including playoffs). Because of Daniels’ dual-threat ability, he has the benefit of putting up eye-popping numbers, which has helped the likes of Lamar Jackson win the award in the past. With the Commanders owning the third-most amount of cap space and plenty of draft capital to further build around him, he should have a better roster at his disposal in 2025. On top of new additions to the roster, it shouldn’t be overlooked that Daniels will continue to have offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury in his ear after forgoing head-coaching opportunities this cycle. That should only help as Daniels steps into Year 2.
There are tons of reasons why Daniels should be a favorite in 2025. Look how much he accomplished with a roster around him that many believed wouldn’t win more than seven or eight games. The Commanders won 14 games, including the playoffs.
Before you reflexively reply that Jeff Driskel could handle the job as Daniels’ backup, be aware that Driskel is also an unrestricted free agent. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that both could be offered a raise and depart the Commanders and Daniels.
The Commanders will need to be looking to sign a QB(s) whose market value and role correspond as a backup to Daniels.
Are there connections to Peters or OC Klint Kingsbury? Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo were both in San Francisco with Peters.
Surely some team looking for a possible starter would sign Justin Fields? Might Joshua Dobbs be interested in coming to Ashburn?
Might Daniel Jones be willing to take on such a role as a supportive backup?
More changes are coming to the Commanders’ roster this offseason.
The Commanders had to think on their feet after Noah Brown suffered a serious internal injury in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. Those in power struck with conviction to scoop K.J. Osborn off waivers following his release by the New England Patriots.
Osborn has talent. He was a respectable contributor during his time with the Minnesota Vikings, taking advantage of the one-on-one...
