Overview
- Jalon Daniels agreed to join Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent after the NFL Draft on a deal reported to include a $247,000 base guarantee and a $25,000 signing bonus.
- He enters a quarterback room led by Baker Mayfield with Jake Browning, Connor Bazelak, and Garrett Greene also competing for roster and practice-squad spots.
- Daniels finished six seasons at Kansas with 9,282 passing yards and 67 touchdown throws, plus 23 rushing scores that reflect his dual-threat style.
- Pre-draft evaluations, including a 5.66 prospect grade from combine assessments, projected him as a late-round or undrafted candidate who profiles as a developmental player.
- Scouts flagged past injuries in 2022 and 2023 and uneven mechanics and coverage reads, so his bid to stick will hinge on clean health and steadier decision-making against NFL speed.
