The Green Bay Packers surprised many NFL analysts earlier this week with the release of longtime defensive lineman Mike Daniels, a player who is still a productive performer and pass rusher along the defensive front. On Wednesday, reporter Mike Garafolo confirmed that Daniels shouldn’t have to wait long to find meaningful work.
Garafolo said the Packers were trying to trade Daniels in recent weeks which is why this release took until the beginning of training camp. Three of the reported teams on Garafolo’s list involved in those trade talks: the New England Patriots, the Cleveland Browns, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
