On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers released seven-year veteran defensive tackle Mike Daniels. It’s obvious why the Packers didn’t keep him, as he was taking up 5% of their 2019 salary cap and he’s coming off an injury-plagued season, now finding himself on the wrong side of 30.

With the obvious out of the way, let’s discuss what Mike Daniels is and is not, and what he could be expected to do going forward.
