Source: Lions sign ex-Packer Daniels for $9.1M
The Detroit Lions have signed former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Mike Daniels, who was released by the Green Bay Packers earlier this week, to a one-year deal for $9.1 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
The deal includes $7.8 million that is fully guaranteed, the source told Schefter.
Daniels, 30, was a fourth-round pick out of Iowa in 2012. He 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.
