The Broncos released Daniels on Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.
ANALYSIS
After Gary Kubiak was hired as the Broncos' head coach last year, Daniels hooked up with his former boss in Denver and proceeded to put together a modest campaign, gathering in 46 catches for 517 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season. Once the AFC championship game rolled around, though, Daniels made his greatest impact for the Mile-High residents, as he teamed up with Peyton Manning to post two first-half touchdowns in an eventual two-point victory versus the Patriots. While he has a Super Bowl title under his belt, Daniels demonstrated that he still has something left in the tank and should draw some interest on the open market.

Daniels followed Gary Kubiak from Houston to Baltimore last season and had a bounce-back year after being limited to five games in 2013 because of a broken leg. Now he's followed Kubiak again, to Denver, where Kubiak is the new head coach and where Daniels will take over for Julius Thomas. Peyton Manning made Thomas a star, and while Daniels might not reach those heights, he has a great opportunity with a quarterback who spreads the ball and a coach who uses tight ends in the passing game. Daniels' 11.0 yards per catch last season was close to Thomas' (11.4), and getting passes from Manning shouldn't be hard, as Thomas and Wes Welker, who was not re-signed, leave behind 128 targets. Where Daniels might be hard-pressed to follow Thomas, though, is in the red zone. Thomas totaled 33 targets and 17 touchdowns the last two years inside the 20 (in 27 games). Daniels has never had more than the 12 red-zone targets and four touchdowns he produced last season. At 6-3, he's two inches shorter than Thomas and is not nearly as athletic at 32-years old. So while Daniels could match Thomas' catches and yards, he likely will fall short of his touchdown production, which is what separated Thomas from most fantasy tight ends.
