We already have Mike Daniels under contract, but he has been almost invisible his two seasons here. 419 snaps with zero sacks, zero hurries, 1 QB knockdown, and 1 TFL. He might be a former Pro Bowl player, but he is finished. If he makes the final roster we have problems at DT.
Mike Daniels is mostly cooked. Without Ogunjobi on the roster however, he may be able to rotate in and out with Carter for a bit. I wouldn't want him to start. Without a doubt DL rotation is important and happens often. DL can get gassed quickly. DT3 and 4 could see the field about 25% to 35% of the time.
