RT @RGIII: The Washington Commanders have to stop asking Jayden Daniels to be SUPERMAN all game to keep him healthy long Via @RGIII on X

What happened: RGIII tied the proposed change to protecting Daniels' long-term health as Washington prepares for 2026.

Why it matters: The warning puts quarterback exposure and offensive balance at the center of the Commanders' offseason. Daniels is entering Year 3 under new coordinator David Blough.

What to watch: Washington's preseason usage and early play-calling will show whether the offense reduces Daniels' burden.
