The Commanders have solidified their quarterback depth with the signing of Sam Hartman as an undrafted free agent, in addition to drafting Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. This move shows the team’s confidence in Hartman’s abilities and their commitment to developing young talent.
Hartman received a substantial guarantee of a $20,000 signing bonus and a $225,000 base salary guarantee, making him one of the most highly sought-after undrafted rookies in the league. Alongside Daniels and Hartman, the Commanders have quarterbacks Marcus Mariota, Jeff Driskel, and Jake Fromm on their roster. It is anticipated that Daniels will start, with Mariota serving as his backup.
Hartman is a 24-year-old quarterback who spent five seasons at Wake Forest before transferring to Notre Dame for his final year of college football. During his collegiate career, he started 57 games and showcased his experience and skill in leading a team from the quarterback position. With this new addition to their roster, the Commanders are well positioned to compete for success in the NFL season ahead.
