Tony McDaniel to Buccaneers: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction

Tony McDaniel was unemployed for a little over a week before he found a new home. According to NFL Network's Rand Getlin, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a one-year deal with the veteran defensive tackle that could reach $2.5 million.

The Seattle Seahawks released McDaniel on Aug. 2, which was a direct result of the contract extensions for Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner. The reigning NFC champions had to cut costs somewhere, and they determined McDaniel to be surplus to requirements.

As Getlin noted, McDaniel isn't coming out the worse for wear after Monday:

Importantly for McDaniel, his deal gives him the ability to make the same amount of money he was previously set to make with the #Seahawks.
