Daniels shopping for second opinions is not the language of a quick return. He's rostered everywhere and there's nothing to sell right now, so hold and check back before making any moves. Mariota in a 51.5-point game as a desperation streamer is theoretically appealing, but this offense without Daniels is a different, worse animal. Leave him on the wire.

Speculative — this reads ahead of what the source reported.
