Who Should I Start? Sam Hartman or Jordan Travis

Tuesday, January 28, 7:19 PM

The Washington Commanders announced on Tuesday that they signed quarterback Sam Hartman, running back Kazmeir Allen, defensive tackle Viliami Fehoko Jr., guard Julian Good-Jones, tight ends Tyree Jackson and Cole Turner, defensive end Andre Jones Jr., wide receiver Chris Moore and safety Ben Nikkel to Reserve/Futures deals. Hartman went undrafted in 2024 but eventually latched on with the Commanders for training camp. The 25-year-old signal-caller didn't make the 53-man active roster for the start of the regular season but did spend time on the active roster later in the season when backup Marcus Mariota landed on Injured Reserve. However, Hartman never saw action in a regular season game and is still looking to make his NFL debut. With Mariota set to become a free agent in March, the Commanders have opted to bring Hartman back as QB insurance this offseason.

New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis (ankle) has experienced some setbacks and is not expected to be activated from the non-football injury list before the end of the 2024 NFL season, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday. Travis suffered the injury while competing at Florida State University last season, and he was placed on the NFI list near the end of training camp. Ulbrich noted that he checks in with Travis daily, and even though his recovery isn't going as expected, the Jets' coach loves the young quarterback's work ethic and believes he can still be an impact player. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until next year before getting a glimpse of Travis in a Jets uniform. In the meantime, New York's quarterback room will continue to feature veterans Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor.
