PHILADELPHIA • Why is Chase Daniel here?
In some ways, the question is easy to answer. He is here because of his close relationship with Doug Peterson, who is his head coach with the Eagles and was his offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs. He is here because the Eagles signed him to a three-year contract that gave Daniel $12 million in guaranteed money and that could be worth up to $21 million — a handsome paycheck for a quarterback who has started two games in six NFL seasons. And he is here because of his intimate knowledge of Pederson’s offense.
