Chase Daniel

Daniel is a career backup, which makes him one of the better free agent options if Douglas wants a guy who can quickly learn an offense and play if called upon. He’s played for four teams over his career and spent the past two seasons with the Chicago Bears on a nice two-year, $10 million contract. Daniel has played sparingly over his 10-year career with just five starts and  five touchdowns on 218 passing attempts.  

He’d be a great mentor for Darnold, especially considering Daniel played for some of the best coaches in the league – Andy Reid, Sean Payton and Doug Pederson — but he would come at a cost. Daniel’s past three contracts have been worth between $10-11 million, and there’s no reason to believe he’d play for less.
