lineman Mike Daniels broke on Wednesday morning https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Bernie-Kosar-Jersey , one of the responses was to wonder why the team waited until the start of training camp to make the move.General Manager Brian Gutekunst was asked about that in a press conference later in the day. Gutekunst didn’t say whether the team discussed a pay cut with the veteran lineman, but did say that attempts to trade him were part of the reason why he remained on the roster as long as he did.“There’s a few factors involved in that. Mike was rehabbing from a foot injury suffered during the season and I think also there was some — quite frankly there was some trade conversations going on and those kind of came apart the last couple of weeks here and that was part of it,” Gutekunst said http://www.brownsfanshop.com/Austin-Seibert-Jersey , via WBAY.Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Browns, Chiefs and Patriots were among the teams that spoke to the Packers about a trade and that Daniels has heard from at least seven teams since being released, so it doesn’t look like he’ll be waiting long for a new home.
