Demetric's been a pretty good backup, which means on about 27 teams in the NFL, if the starter goes down, he gets first crack to prove he can hold the fort...as a starter. We apparently aren't one of those 27 teams.

So... let's say you were the GM. Daniels goes down on the first day of camp. You have $9M or so in your back pocket. Jason Taylor is in Miami just dying to get out of town. Are you really going to say nah, we don't need this move. Give the starting job to Demetric Evans?
