Source: Ex-Packer Daniels finalizing Lions deal

The Detroit Lions are finalizing a deal with former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Mike Daniels, who was released by the Green Bay Packers earlier this week, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 30-year-old Daniels, who was a fourth-round pick out of Iowa in 2012, had been a perennial starter for the Packers prior to his release, starting 72 of 102 games in his career and all but one of the games he played in since the start of the 2014 season.

He received interest from close to a dozen teams, including the Cleveland Browns and Lions.
