New Broncos tight end Owen Daniels said after signing in Denver that he was surprised the Ravens didn’t make much of an effort to keep him.
“Not as much as I thought they would. They came late with an offer, but it was after I had already committed to come here,” Daniels said, via the Associated Press.
Daniels was the Ravens’ top tight end in 2014, catching 48 passes for 527 yards and four touchdowns. He also had a big game for them in the playoffs, catching eight passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in their loss to the Patriots. Baltimore will miss him.
By going to Denver Daniels gets to stay with Gary Kubiak, who has been either the head coach or the offensive coordinator everywhere Daniels has been for his entire NFL career. There’s a level of comfort with the Broncos that may not have been there if Daniels had stayed in Baltimore.
