Daniels' elbow injury threatens contract leverage and raises durability concerns for his NFL future.

Daniels faces a critical left elbow injury requiring a choice between lengthy rehabilitation or season-ending surgery. The source emphasizes that shutting him down for the season makes the most sense for long-term health and future contract security. This setback severely damages his leverage to break the bank on a second contract, as teams will openly question whether he can be trusted to stay healthy for a full 17-game slate. The source expresses massive, long-term reservations about his durability, noting his body betrayed him at the worst imaginable moment despite evident offseason preparation. The decision could be days or even weeks away, leaving the entire franchise frozen in place.
