NFC Notes: Jayden Daniels, Trey Lance, Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles

Commanders

Throughout the early stages of OTAs, Commanders LB Bobby Wagner has been impressed by first-round QB Jayden Daniels.

โ€œItโ€™s early, but he shows the potential,โ€ Wagner said, via Ben Standig of The Athletic. โ€œYou see the throws. You see the decisions that heโ€™s making. You see the confidence that he has. You see the work that heโ€™s putting in, too. Heโ€™s coming in early โ€” whether itโ€™s working out or putting in the film.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s the thing you look for as a vet, someone who wants it. And he definitely does.โ€

  • Commanders TE Zach Ertz has been impressed with Daniels through OTAs: โ€œHe really, really cares about this thing. He wants to be as good as he can possibly be. Heโ€™s working his butt off.โ€ (Zach Selby)

Cowboys

Dallas traded for QB Trey Lance last season in exchange for a fourth-round pick, but heโ€™s set to be a free agent after the season. Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones stated how excited they are to see Lance at practice and praised his effort from his first year with the team.

โ€œYeah, weโ€™re excited to see him,โ€ Jones said, via the teamโ€™s website. โ€œHeโ€™s done nothing but impress around here. Heโ€™s a pro that works his ass off. No one gets to see him, because he hasnโ€™t been on the field because we got him late. But weโ€™re going to get to see him.โ€

  • Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy highlighted the progress heโ€™s seen from Lance: โ€œNow starting to get the timing with the routes. โ€ฆHeโ€™s close to being a master of the system. He has a really high understanding. โ€ฆHe just needs as many reps as he can.โ€ (Michael Gehlken)

Eagles

  • Eagles DT Jordan Davis noted heโ€™s at 350 pounds this year and says heโ€™s in better shape thanks to โ€œcutting out the juice and shit.โ€ (Jimmy Kempski)
  • Philadelphia CB Isaiah Rodgers on coming back from a one-year suspension: โ€œYear away took me closer to my love for this game. โ€ฆ This league donโ€™t need anybody.โ€ (Jeff McLane)
  • Rodgers continued: โ€œI made a mistake and I did my time and just being back around a great team and a great culture of guys โ€” just finally getting in a locker room environment (and all that) back into my heart feels real good.โ€ (Brooks Kubena)
