Mike Daniels: I Wanted to Be in Green Bay

We doubt the Green Bay Packers got off with much of a hometown discount when they signed defensive end Mike Daniels to a four-year extension Monday morning, but Daniels made one thing clear after signing the deal. He had no intention of leaving.

“My agent called me, gave me the lay, and had to agree with him,” Daniels said. “I told him I wanted to be in Green Bay. I want to be with this team. This team is in it every year. It’s a great, historic franchise. We had quite a few vets from other teams, free agents, my rookie year, and all they kept saying to us rookies were, ‘Wow, you guys you don’t understand how fortunate you are to start your careers off in Green Bay.
