Commanders sign Sam Cosmi to an extension, aim to protect Jayden Daniels as much as possible
Associated PressASHBURN, Va. — Protecting rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is one of the biggest priorities for the Washington Commanders, starting this weekend in his NFL debut at Tampa Bay and for the rest of the season. “I think we got a special dude that I’ve got to protect — very talented — and that makes me excited to be here, hopefully for the next five years,” Cosmi said. “He is a pillar of our offensive line, and we believe that Sam’s best playing days are ahead,” general manager Adam Peters said. To see him really perform well at that position, it’s a hard matchup.” Quinn said Cosmi’s size — 6-foot-7 and 309 pounds — is a major benefit. “We had a lot of opportunities this training camp to work — a couple different guys working at different spots, too, so if something happens, we’re ready for that,” Allegretti said.
