[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 837047"] A team might be interested in such a trade for a one year rent-a-player with no long term commitment if injuries lead to desperation and they have the available cap space. Oakland signed Nelson to 2 years/$15 million when he was clearly in decline. While that was an FA signing, I would not have expected more than a lower round pick for Daniels, and perhaps a conditional one at that, where the value in trade would be minor. There would have been no additional cost to the Packers in holding out for a desperation offer all the way up to cut downs. Since Gutekunst has been shopping Daniels for a couple of weeks, that created a problem in holding out longer for a deperation offer. The fact Daniels was being shopped would have gotten back to his agent. Now you would have had an unhappy player knowing he's on the block while his agent would have informed him that the handwriting on the wall is that he'll be cut if he can't be traded. You wouldn't want that player in camp, and he would want his release now rather later providing more time to find a spot than, say, being cut a week before the season starts. We could say this move now was a win-win under the circumstances. If somebody wants to call this early release a magnanimous gesture on the part of the Packers in consideration of Daniel's time served, fell free to ignore my skepticism. [/QUOTE]
