Daniels signed his rookie contract after being selected by the Commanders with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. They agreed to a fully guaranteed four-year deal worth $37,746,650 that saw Daniels collect a generous $24,272,108 signing bonus.

As Mock’s model suggests, there’s a razor-thin margin between these two MVP candidates, and while the model believes Allen to have been the superior player in 2024, Jackson was named a first-team All-Pro, which all but ensures Jackson will win his third MVP.

Daniels, who’s one game away from being the first rookie in league history to play in the Super Bowl, has been on a tear this postseason. After guiding Washington to a 12-5 record, Daniels has thrown for 567 yards and four touchdowns and has yet to have a turnover.
