After going year to year at the position for most of the last decade, the Detroit Lions are counting on Chase Daniel to be their backup quarterback for at least the next two seasons.
Daniel's three-year contract, agreed upon Tuesday, includes base salary guarantees that make it likely he'll be in Detroit through at least 2021.
Daniel can void the final year of his three-year, $13.05 million contract if he informs the Lions of his desire to do so between the sixth and 14th days after the 2021 league year Super Bowl and he repays the team $1 million.
