When the Green Bay Packers released Mike Daniels Wednesday morning, the Cleveland Browns were almost immediately connected to the 30-year-old defensive tackle.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that the Browns are expected to pursue Daniels because of the connections Cleveland’s front office has with him. Cleveland also had trade talks with Green Bay about Daniels, according to Garafolo.
The Browns are also the first team Daniels will be visiting with, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Daniels is visiting the Browns on Thursday.
John Dorsey, Eliot Wolf, and Alonzo Highsmith were all members of Green Bay’s personnel department when Daniels was drafted in 2012.
