Are you serious?...Daniels is a rock solid run stopping D lineman...yeah he is old...but the guy is a brick house...no way they cut this guy. You are out of your mind.

Eh, he can't really take on a block and make a tackle on the same play anymore. He's still strong enough to make contact with the offensive tackle without going backwards, which is important, but also not part of the current scheme.

Daniels is savvy, but he's so slow in open space that teams almost don't have to account for him anymore -- as the back can just run right by him. He's not going to be able to beat anyone out in a camp battle, man for man.

True, PD is slow, but at the point of attack he's not getting pushed back often. He's probably more suited to this 3-4 DE at this point in his career, as he allows the LBs to read & pursue w/clearer angle.

Granted, I haven't been to camp, so I'm going off of last year's performance. Maybe he's looking much slower this year. I hope he makes the team & contributes, the guy just seems solid all the way around & somebody we can all be proud to root for.
