The Lions re-sign long snapper Scott Daly

Cross long snapper off the Detroit Lions’ list of needs for the 2024 offseason. Scott Daly is back in Detroit.

The Lions have re-signed Daly, their long snapper from the last three seasons. The 30-year-old comes back to the team after not initially being tendered as a restricted free agent.

Daly has been a consistent presence since taking over for venerable Don Muhlbach, who now serves on the Lions coaching staff and works with Daly daily. Daly injured his knee during Detroit’s Week 8 win over the Raiders on Monday Night Football and missed the rest of the year. He was replaced by veteran Jake McQuaide, who remains available on the free agent market.
