Seahawks sign Tony McDaniel: Why the veteran DT is thanking Snapchat for his NFL reunion

The Seattle Seahawks brought back veteran defensive tackle Tony McDaniel on a one-year deal on Monday. McDaniel spent last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he’s quietly been available as a free agent all year with few reports of interest. But that changed last week thanks to social media, and that of a simple Snapchat, of all things.

McDaniel sent a Snapchat of himself at TSA in Atlanta last week, which was seen by his agent David Canter, who then asked him where he was headed. The answer was Seattle, where he spent the 2013 and 2014 seasons, simply to see friends and family.
