Fivethirtyeight.com reported during training camp that Daniel will have earned $34.3 million in his career if he finishes his contract with the Bears next season. That’s remarkable, considering only 51 quarterbacks have been paid more over the course of their career. Despite being touted as a valuable backup, Daniel never has pushed for a starting job in his career, and the Bears clearly need Trubisky as they look to protect and build on a 1½-game lead in the NFC North.
