ESPN: Commanders Could Have ‘New Starting Quarterback in 2027’
ESPN's Ben Solak predicts the Washington Commanders could have a new starting quarterback in 2027. The post ESPN: Commanders Could Have ‘New Starting Quarterback in 2027’ appeared first on HEAVY.
The Washington Commanders find themselves in a difficult situation at quarterback. Jayden Daniels, starting QB, missed 10 games last year due to injuries, including a dislocated elbow in Week 2. He's now facing additional time off after the same injury. This has led ESPN's Ben Solak to suggest the Commanders might create a backup plan, potentially leading to a new starting quarterback in 2027.
Solak notes that Daniels' health is crucial, as if he misses 15 games, they may consider a young, developmental investment in QB2. The Commanders are counting on Marcus Mariota, who's been Daniels' backup since 2015, and may look to younger prospects like Anthony Richardson Sr. They'll rely on Mariota for the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Commanders also lost their second NFC East starter, Jaxson Dart, to a potential season-ending knee injury in Week 2. Winston is set to replace him.
