— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 14, 2015Supposedly Daniels just got an extension: 4 years, $42 million, the Houston Chronicle reporting, now Ian Rappaport also.
OBTW an ancillary benefit of the timing of this is showing the roster (again) that if you produce you get paid.
Nice reminder as you're heading down the stretch.
Glad they got that nailed down. Another big piece in place.
I'm okay with it, though I do wish Daniels weren't blown out of the play so often. That said, it's something they'll just have to deal with as a trade off for his disruptive plays.
Well deserved and now GB has it's biggest impending FA locked up. Can turn their focus on the other guys once the offseason hits but Daniels was the #1 priority. Glad they got it addressed prior to the end of the season
I'm glad this got done.
I believe the added bonus is that a good chunk can come off this year's cap too.
Very nice!
What that is TT bonus. They can't take his bonus away.
This deal had to get done, and I'm glad Daniels didn't wait until the off-season. That says something about Daniels and his loyalty to the Pack. It is well deserved. As for comments on his run defense, it is much improved this year. No, he's not a juggernaut there and never will be given his size, but he's a disruptive pass-rushing DL and those are hard to find.

"Daniels was nearing the end of his rookie deal after four very good seasons in Wisconsin. So far, 2015 has been his masterpiece. Daniels is playing the run better than any 3-4 defensive end in football, with only J.J. Watt coming close."
How is this possible? From what I have been reading, he gets blown out quite often.
The other good thing about signing him now is this offseason could be brutal for the defense. Ostensibly, their top-three OLBs are all free agents, as was their slotted starting defensive line.
Ringo will be replacing Guion. Raji won't break the bank if he walks.
He earned it and TT understood that the price was just continuing to rise.
Daniels: "I want to win Super Bowls with this team. This is like home to me. This is a great place to be. I don't want to go anywhere else."

Same thing that Randall Cobb said. Somebody's doing something right at 1265.
@ByRyanWood: Money is critical, but #Packers DE Mike Daniels made one thing clear to agent: "I wanted to be in Green Bay." So no need to wait till March.
@ByRyanWood: Mike Daniels: "Everybody said, 'You'd be stupid to leave the #Packers.'" He agreed.
"Somebody's doing something right at 1265."
We all know it's the brainwashing going on there.
Tom Silverstein with a fine article about the outlook for FA's after the Daniels deal.
LB Mike Neal on teammate Mike Daniels: "He’s like a pitbull that you’ve chained up and never fed before and he acts like that 24/7."

Terrific signing. These kinds of players just aren't readily around in the draft. Nor is that kind of attitude/work ethic.
Can't believe some fans wanted Ted to let Daniels walk. One of, if not our best, D-Linemen. Glad to hear the news.

Looks like the process has begun for Mike Pennel to start getting more of Guion's snaps. Pennel has been more effective at the 5 tech even though he's better suited for nose- not the case with the dope dealer.
What do you base your bold statement about Ringo ?
#Packers DT @Mike_Daniels76 is headed to his first #ProBowl!

Awesome. About time. He's been due a trip for a while, now.
What's Clark & Daniels going to do under Pettine?

Interesting, but I think it'll be more interesting to see what the Packers will do in free agency and the draft under Gutekunst.

Hopefully KICK ASS. Wait, a kick ass defense?
Somebody shoot me...
Would not surprise me at all to see Clay and Josh Jones lined up next to each other as ILB’s next year.
The beauty of Pettine is that he’s got no loyalty to anyone on defense. Best players will play in spots that fit best.

I had that same time thought. It felt a little dirty.
.@packers @Mike_Daniels76 can stack, shed, and tackle an elite RB in a blink of an eye. Looking for that explosive violence in this year’s draft. #BaldyBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/qekAcH74b6

Really good stuff !!

Martinez led the NFL in tackles in year 2, I think who ever moves to ILB will be next to him. Kid is a tackling machine and has a bright future.
Well, having lupper with the wife in green bay at Longhorn Steakhouse and low and behold I cross paths with Mike Daniels as I was exiting the facilities just now. True story!
