Seahawks Claim QB B.J. Daniels Off Waivers From The 49ers

Aaron Wilson reports that the Seattle Seahawks have claimed QB B.J. Daniels off of waivers from the San Francisco 49ers.

Daniels, 23, was a surprising release on Tuesday. Reports indicated that the 49ers were hoping that he would pass through waivers so that he could be added to their practice squad, but the Seahawks obviously prevented that from happening.

San Francisco has since signed John Skelton to a one-year.

Seattle reportedly had interest Daniels leading up to the draft, so there’s probably more to this move than just gamesmanship.
