What to know

  • Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow—the same one injured last season—in Week 2 against Dallas, raising questions about his durability.
  • ESPN's Ben Solak proposed Anthony Richardson, the Colts' 2023 first-round bust, as a young, high-upside developmental backup over veteran Marcus Mariota.
  • Richardson, 24, has struggled with a 50.6% completion percentage and injury issues but offers higher ceiling potential than typical backup QB options.

“But the Commanders will have to have a better long-term view at QB2 than Mariota. Anthony Richardson Sr., anyone?”

    Ben Solak proposes Anthony Richardson as QB insurance

    ESPN analyst Ben Solak suggested the Commanders pursue Anthony Richardson Sr., the Colts' 2023 first-round QB bust, as a young developmental backup with higher upside than Marcus Mariota, citing Daniels' injury history and potential extended absence.

    “If he misses 15 games this year, I don't see how the Commanders don't consider a young, developmental investment in QB2.”
