REPORT: Washington Commanders Cut Highly Touted First-Round Draft Pick
The Washington Commanders have had a decent season so far in 2024, as 2024 second overall pick Jayden Daniels has led the team to a surprisingly competitive 7-5 record through 12 games, and there is still much more football to be played.
Last week, the Commanders took on the struggling Dallas Cowboys in a divisional matchup. The Cowboys were third in the NFC East heading into the anticipated game. However, the Commanders ultimately lost their third straight game.
In the game, Daniels was clearly not the problem, as while the Cowboys put up 34 points on the Commanders’ defense, Daniels was balling out. The rookie signal-caller put 275 passing yards while completing 65 percent of his passes for 2 touchdowns.
Now, the Commanders have made a difficult decision, and many of their fans thought they should have done a while to attempt to get back in the win column this week against the Titans. The team has officially cut Emmanuel Forbes Jr.
