Submit For Owen Daniels

Newest Chatter

1	Texans TE Owen Daniels, who tore his ACL in a November game against the Bills last season, has started running again. "It feels great," Daniels said. "No limping." It's his 3rd time rehabbing a torn ACL, so Daniels knows what to expect. And he says the process is moving more quickly than usual this time. His goal is to be 100% healthy by June 1st. The next hurdle for the Texans will be solving Daniels' contract dispute so that he doesn't hold out.

2	C'mon Smiley, that's a little harsh. Daniels is widly regarded as one of the better young TE's in the game. The last two seasons he finished 6th, then 5th in both receptions and yards for TE's. He's only 26 and the Texans second target after AJ. While the Texans are floating to the press that he turned down a deal making him the 2nd highest paid tight end, we don't know the details of the offer. It could have been scant on guaranteed money. It could have been heavily backloaded, meaning he wouldn't most likely see the big money. It could have been laden with high to reach escalators. We just don't know. Daniels has two less catches and 166 more yards than Dallas Clark the past two seasons yet Clark's is making $11mill this year including a signing bonus and 4+mill through 2013 compared to Daniels $2mill tender. Lastly, Daniels just played out his rookie deal so at age 26, this is his only chance at a huge payday. He and his agent better get it right.

3	Yeah, that's pretty shocking. In real NFL terms and in fantasy terms, he isn't close to the #2 TE.

5	From link below: "The Chronicle reported that the Texans' offer would make Daniels the second-highest paid tight end in the league." Did I miss something?? What did this guy do or what has he done? From a FF perspective, their were 12 other TEs more consistent last year with Daniels himself going over the 5+ FP threshold only 6 times.... all in the first half of the season too. The Texans are missing out on the "contract year" performance that most players generate for their teams during such a time. And they rewarding a whiner. Either this is a huge precursor to increased production or a huge waste of money..... my money is on the latter.
