The Commanders have added depth to their quarterback position by signing undrafted free agent Sam Hartman and drafting Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. Hartman received a substantial guarantee of a $20,000 signing bonus and a $225,000 base salary guarantee, showing the team’s confidence in his abilities.
Daniels is expected to start as the team’s quarterback, with Marcus Mariota serving as his backup. Hartman will have a solid opportunity to compete with Jeff Driskel and Jake Fromm for the No. 3 quarterback spot on the team.
Hartman, who is 24 years old, spent five seasons at Wake Forest before transferring to Notre Dame for his final year of college football. Over the course of his collegiate career, he started 57 games, showcasing his experience and skill in leading a team from the quarterback position.
