Report: Lions upgrade backup quarterback spot, agree to deal with Chase Daniel

Allen Park — After watching the team's backup quarterbacks go winless the final eight games of the regular season, the Detroit Lions made an effort to upgrade the roster spot on Tuesday, agreeing to terms on a three-year deal with Chase Daniel, according to an ESPN report.

The pact is reported to be valued at just over $13 million.

The former Missouri standout went undrafted in 2009, but has carved out a long NFL career as a backup, staring with a four-year stint playing behind Drew Brees in New Orleans.
