been trying to trade Daniel for a while now but don't have any takers. He makes a lot of money for a backup. Cutting him only saves $1 or 2M, depending on pre or post June 1st designation. $5M of his contract in 2017 is guaranteed.
Makes sense to stockpile capable QB's (Daniel, Foles) behind Wentz for backup purposes, or if something like the Teddy Bridgewater injury happens again to a team for purpose of trade.
He's getting paid Rhett Ellison money, and he's a guy who you'd hope won't take a snap over that contract. The only way this makes sense is if the Eagles manage to con some sucker team into trading them picks for him down the road (which they have a surprisingly good habit of doing).
The fact that Eli makes what he does and that even backups are commanding fairly decent money leads me to believe they will either try to reach back out to Nassib to offer him a deal similar to what he was offered last time or draft another one in rd 4 or later. Having to pay almost 30 million for two players of the same position who cant play at the same time is just insane.
We could do a lot worse

Well if Romo slips through their fingers I can see Houston trading a late round pick for Daniels.

Especially considering how much he's getting paid? He's gonna be released.

Why though? He's a better option than Tom Savage who knows their system? I don't think so. Daniel is virtually worthless on the trade market.
