Commanders might've gotten a 'steal' in $27M target for Jayden Daniels

The Washington Commanders bolstered their offense significantly this offseason, signing a tight end to a $27 million contract over three seasons. Chigozeim Okonkwo, the draft pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2022, could be a valuable addition for quarterback Jayden Daniels. Bleacher Report's Alex Kay believes that Okonkwo is a steal for the Commanders, predicting him to have a career year with Daniels if they both stay healthy.

The tight end, 26, had career-high receptions (56), yards (560), and touchdowns (2) last season, but struggled to reach his full potential due to a lack of supporting skill outside of Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, and rookie Antonio Williams. Okonkwo's promising start in training camp has made him a potential breakout star for the Commanders in 2026.
