Cleveland Browns

Cleveland would be an interesting situation for Mike Daniels because they have pretty much never been relevant since rejoining the league in the late ’90s, but for the first time in a long time, they’ve got momentum and excitement.

It’s weird saying this, but the Cleveland Browns look like one of the top four teams in the AFC and the frontrunner to win the AFC North, which could make this an appealing spot for Mike Daniels, who at this stage in his career, is looking to join a Super Bowl contender.

Cleveland also has a need after exploring the possibility of signing defensive tackle Gerald McCoy earlier this season.

In Cleveland, the former Iowa football player would slide into the defensive tackle spot likely next to Sheldon Richardson.

From a cap perspective, Cleveland has the third-most cap space in the entire league and fellow Iowa football player Christian Kirksey is already on the team making this a possible destination for Daniels.
