The Packers have a pair of free agent tight ends in Jermichael Finley and Andrew Quarless who have yet to sign contracts for next season, but the team isn’t waiting for them to make up their minds to explore other options.
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Owen Daniels is visiting with the team. Daniels was released by the Texans earlier this week.
Daniels is likely a familiar name to Packers fans after playing his college ball at the University of Wisconsin and playing a prominent role in the Houston offense for most of the last eight seasons. Daniels wasn’t quite as visible in 2013 as a broken leg ended his season after five games and 24 catches, but he would be an experienced and reliable set of hands for Aaron Rodgers if he’s healthy next season.
The Ravens have also been linked to Daniels, which likely has much to do with the fact that former Texans head coach Gary Kubiak is now the offensive coordinator in Baltimore.
