That’s the number that Daniels’ side has asked for in contract negotiations, which have been ongoing this offseason, as the defensive lineman enters the final year of his rookie deal. The Green Bay Packers are not interested in paying Daniels that much at this point, however.
According to Bob McGinn, the Packers have been offering several million less per season and thus, negotiations have broken off.
So who’s getting the kind of money Daniels is asking for?
Cincinnati is paying Geno Atkins around $10.7 million annually, San Diego is paying Corey Liuget $10.25 million annually and Pittsburgh is paying Cameron Heyward about $9.
