Free agent quarterback Chase Daniel is meeting with the Saints today, reports Adam Caplan of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
Daniel, 30, spent the first three years of his career in New Orleans after entering the league as an undrafted free agent. He only attempted nine passes during that time while backing up Drew Brees, and he’d be coming to the Saints as a clear-cut No. 2 signal-caller once again. Given that the Eagles were unable to trade Daniel earlier this month, it’s perhaps unsurprising that he may have to accept a backup job without the chance to start.
Daniel inked a lucrative contract with the Eagles last offeason that made him one of the highest-paid backup quarterbacks in the NFL. Despite his paycheck, Daniel is very inexperienced as an NFL passer, as he’s attempted only 78 passes during his seven-year career. Still, as many as six teams were interested in Daniel last year before he signed with Philadelphia, so he figures to have suitors as a free agent this time around.
At present, the Saints have veteran Luke McCown and former third-round pick Garrett Grayson under contract behind Brees.
What, no Cleveland rumors?
I guess it didn’t take long for him to realise that only him and a few of his fans from college believe he’s a starting qb in the league…..scrub
Who cares about starting when u can make millions sitting on the sideline
Well,he asked the Eagles to release him because he felt he was a starter in the league,so he does.
