What happened: On First Things First, Nick Wright said he agreed with every word of Micah Parsons' criticism of Jayden Daniels after Washington's tie with New York. Kevin Wilds called Parsons bringing up a $60 million extension stunning because players rarely question pay publicly. Wright called Daniels the last line of defense on the clock gaffe despite shared coaching blame.

Why it matters: Wright said availability remains the top contract question with situational awareness now added in Daniels' third year. Wilds tied the result to Washington at 1-3-1 and said another non-playoff finish could put Dan Quinn's job at risk.

By the numbers: Hosts cited Washington at 12-5 when Daniels stayed healthy, 5-12 when banged up, and 1-3-1 with Daniels in and out this year.

What to watch: Hosts pointed to a $55 million to $65 million decision after Daniels' third year hinging on health and situational command.
