If you're Washington, you want Daniels done before Caleb Williams and maybe even Drake Maye, so those contracts don't elevate costs.

Extend Daniels after 2025 season to beat QB cost inflation from Williams and Maye.

The source advises extending Jayden Daniels after the 2025 season rather than delaying into year 4 or the option year, citing NFL quarterback cost inflation: 'There's only inflation on the horizon here, and the amount someone gets paid is far less about their ranking among the NFL's best and far more about who's next.' The smart play is to lock him down when first eligible, before Caleb Williams and Drake Maye sign, which would elevate market costs. The Commanders have budgeted for this and are prepared to execute the deal next offseason. One exception: if Daniels suffers a 2025 injury repeat, it may create doubt and warrant delaying the extension.
