“I don’t want anything to do with this,” Daniels said, referring to negotiations on a new contract. “I want to focus on the season. I want to be in Green Bay. Make sure I’m in Green Bay.”
It fell into place just as Daniels wished on Monday, when he signed a multi-year extension to remain with the Packers. He kept himself out of the on-and-off, back-and-forth nature of the talks and simply went about playing his best football in his fourth pro season.
A key cog in the Packers’ run defense and an effective interior pass rusher, Daniels is on pace to top his previous career high in tackles (69 in 2014).
