NFL Owner Buys Jayden Daniels Card For $500,000
Trading cards are back in a big way as of late and so are the Washington Commanders.
After drafting Jayden Daniels second overall last April, the rookie QB led the franchise to a 12-5 record its first NFC Championship appearance since 1991 — giving the team more playoff wins in one season than they've had since the turn of the millennium.

Due to his early on-field success, Josh Roth and Jacob Ramos of Rothcards bought a rare 1-of-1 2024 Daniels Panini Prizm card for roughly $300,000 which they showed off at this year's Fanatics Fest. And it caught the attention of Commanders owner Josh Harris.
Per The Athletic, Harris asked Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin who in attendance had the rarest Jayden Daniels, and when Roth and Ramos came forward he two sides quickly negotiated a deal worth half a million dollars (even though they were asked for four times that).
"It was such an experience to be on stage with just everyone. It really happened so fast," Ramos told the publication. "Moments like that are timeless."

Daniels reportedly signed the card afterwards and Harris plans to display it at Northwest Stadium this season.
Of course $500,000 is light work for a man who purchased his NFL team for a record $6.05 billion in 2023. And that number is only going to go up if Daniels and Washington can replicate this kind of success in the years to come.

Trump trade policies less damaging than expected: IMF
President Trump's trade policies are less damaging than expected, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) upgrading the projections of global economic growth for this year and 2026. The IMF, a Washington-based financial institution that works on facilitating international trade and sustained economic growth, projected a 3 percent global economic growth for 2025, 0.2 percentage points higher than the previous forecast from April, according to its Tuesday report. The organization, which consists of 190 member countries, is also projecting a 3.1 percent growth in 2026, 0.1 percentage point higher than the previous forecast. 'This reflects stronger-than-expected front-loading in anticipation of higher tariffs; lower average effective US tariff rates than announced in April; an improvement in financial conditions, including due to a weaker US dollar; and fiscal expansion in some major jurisdictions,' the IMF said in the new 12-page report. Similarly to the April findings, global headline inflation is expected to dip 4.2 percent this year and 3.6 percent next year. 'The overall picture hides notable cross-country differences, with forecasts predicting inflation will remain above target in the United States and be more subdued in other large economies,' the group said. Companies 'frontloading' imports before Trump's tariffs when into effect, along with the slight tumble of the U.S. dollar assisted in the growth of the world economy, IMF's chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told The Financial Times. 'At the time of the April forecast, we had an effective tariff rate on [imports into the US] of 24 per cent,' Gourinchas said. 'We're now looking at an effective tariff rate of 17 per cent. While 17 is still much higher than where we were in January, there's been some easing of the tariff pressure.' China and the U.S. economies have received upgrades in the IMF's forecast, along with the United Kingdom, which will be the third-fastest-growing economy within the group of seven (G7) this year and in 2026. 'In both tariffing and tariffed countries, elevated uncertainty and volatility require robust prudential policies to safeguard financial stability,' the IMF wrote in the report. 'Crucially, the ambiguous and volatile landscape also requires clear and consistent messaging from central banks and the protection of central bank independence, not only in legal terms, but also in practice,' the organization added.

Bills QB Josh Allen Hits Breaking Point With Patrick Mahomes Question
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are on of, if not the top rivalry in the NFL right now, and Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes is arguably the top quarterback-versus-quarterback rivalry in the league as well. But for as entertaining as their matchups have been, the rivalry always seems to favor the Bills during the regular season (they have a 4-1 record against KC), and the Chiefs during the postseason (they're 4-0 against Buffalo). And perhaps the most frustrating part about it for Allen and the Bills is that they've been so close to exorcising their demons against the Chiefs in the playoffs only to fall just short. Buffalo lost 32-29 to Kansas City in the AFC Championship just last season — a game many feel the Bills were robbed in after Allen was ruled short of a first down on a QB sneak on fourth down early in the fourth quarter after taking a 22-21 lead that could've put the game out of reach for the Chiefs, who scored a go-ahead touchdown to take a 29-22 lead on the very next drive. More NFL: Jon Gruden Says This NFL QB Reminds Him of Joe Montana Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills talks with Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs after an NFL game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Kansas City, Missouri. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills talks with Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs after an NFL game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Kansas City, marked the third time in the last three seasons that Allen and the Bills had their season ended by Mahomes and the Chiefs. It's no surprise that after all those heartbreaking defeats, Allen has been incessantly asked how he can finally break through against Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs — a question he recently admitted he's sick of being asked. "You've got to make sure that you're doing everything right on your side of the football and not giving him short fields and turnovers," Allen said, via D.J. Siddiqi of Esports Insider. "Getting over that hump, it's been the question. I hear it all the time. I'm getting a little tired of it. But the way to stop getting that question asked is to go out there and do it." The Bills have lost twice to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game and twice during the divisional round of the playoffs. More NFL: Rams' Sean McVay Drops Concerning Matthew Stafford Injury Update Back in 2023, Buffalo fell 27-24 after leading for the first two quarters and taking a 24-20 lead into the fourth. In 2022, the Bills came up just short in overtime (42-36) after coming back from a nine-point deficit to take a three-point lead with just 1:54 left in the game before the two teams traded touchdowns and KC hit a field goal as time expired to send it to OT. Their 2021 meeting was the only one what wasn't particularly close (KC won 38-24). The way things have gone over the last handful of years, it wouldn't be surprising to see Allen and Mahomes meet in the playoffs again this season.
