NFL insider Adam Schefter was one of the first to report that Chase Daniel could follow Matthew Stafford out of the Lions organization this summer. Daniel signed a three-year, $13.05 million contract with Detroit Lions last year.
He is being linked with a potential return to Philadelphia on a short-term deal as the Lions look to free up cap space for further arrivals. New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars are also on the lookout for quality backups this summer.
Chase has thrown for 1,694 yards, with 8 passing touchdowns, against 7 interceptions in his 11 year NFL career. However, his earnings have reportedly crossed the $38 million mark.
