Report: Detroit Lions sign ex-Packers DL Mike Daniels

The Detroit Lions appear to be building a strong defensive front, and it just got stronger on Friday.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Lions will be signing defensive lineman Mike Daniels, who was just cut on the eve of camp by the rival Green Bay Packers.

Daniels reportedly wanted to join a Super Bowl contender, which makes his joining the Lions — coming off a 6-10 season, dead last in the NFC North — an interesting one. Perhaps playing the Packers, the only NFL team Daniels has known, also was a factor.
