I find it interesting that GB was able to trade Reggie Gilbert for a 7th round pick but could not trade Daniels or Jones. Both players I believe have more talent. Daniels was quickly picked up by Detroit. Jones has cleared waivers and is a free agent. It would not surprise me if some team picks him up in the near future as they make their final cuts to get to 53. There is certainly more to making a roster than a player's ability.

I really don't know, just speculating on what I've read. I would have figured Mike Daniels would be worth a 5th, even dinged up. Maybe no one wanted the contracts?

Until I looked it up I thought they signed him on the 25th or 26th before the end of the waiver period.

Four or more year veterans automatically become Free Agents when released. Whats left of their current contract is void and they can sign with any team for any amount.
