Mike Daniels

[bobblehead]

You come into the NFL, you work so hard,” Daniels said, via MLive.com. “You just give everything you’ve got every single day. You walk into that building and say, ‘They’re not going to cut me. I’m not going to get cut. I’m not going to get released. I’m going to make it hard for them.’ So when it happened, and then I saw I had an opportunity to play for the Lions, I said, ‘Man, I’m glad I got cut.’ I’m really excited to be here. Really excited to be here.”

What else can he say:
"Man this is gonna suck. We will be lucky to win 6 games this year, but fuck it, I got paid!"

Well, the NBA is trending in that direction, and it's wildly popular with the young people, so maybe he could do that.

Complain all you want about the NBA, but its a prime example of hard salary ceilings making for tremendously inefficient resource allocation.

Which then becomes funny in a secondary way because many of the commentators and fans (who want players paid less ) moan about players taking things other than salary into consideration.

Fans are terrible and they should not be listened too. Same with Cowherd.

So it looks like the Packers may have been dubious of his foot holding up and cut bait, otherwise he'd have been put on PUP/IR and taken his full salary. Don't know how he passed Detroit's physical, but that's their problem. Perhaps their doc was in season mode - 'Yeah he can play through that' (limb hanging on by a thread) vs signing mode 'He is too much of a risk' (hangnail).

What did you mean by this? I don't really understand.

not at all. daniel was strictly a cap move. nothing football about it. in fact they're weaker for it. he passed their physical because he's ok. they wouldn't have made that offer otherwise. they're det, they're unlucky, but they're not stupid.

Coach Matt Patricia has confirmed Daniels’ prolonged absence is due to the foot injury he sustained in Green Bay last season. He underwent surgery and missed six games, then didn’t do much in the Packers’ offseason program this year. But he did tell reporters he expected to be a full participant in training camp.

To me that would indicate he wasn't really ok, but he managed to somehow pass the physical. The Packers move could have strictly been about the cap, but they would also be in a position to know about his foot and wanted to make sure they could cut bait without being forced to put him on IR and paying him.

they're det ... they're not stupid.

You are the first person here to ever express that thought.

6 snaps?



(It was 31)

6 snaps?

Lack of preseason snaps snares another performer.

Heil Guteler - 1
Victim Daniels - 0

He did not make his presence felt, as far as I could tell.

And the Lions are still the Same Ol' Lions, or SOL, as they say in Detroit.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

It’s like the holocaust at 1265. Anyone with Thompson seed is being executed.
