In fact Texans General Manager Rick Smith made contact Tuesday with Daniels representatives.

"Rick reached out to me and and (agent) Dave (Butz) and my sense is the Texans are going to try and get something done," said Alan Herman, one of Daniels' agents.

"Whether we can remains to be seen."

Other quotes from Owen Daniels in the article:

"Honestly I would probably be a little upset," Daniels said prior to the team's conditioning workouts. "I think I've earned something. I've earned more than a one-year situation here.

"A lot of the guys have been working hard, getting three and four-year deals around here. So I'm happy for them and I think I should be in the same boat." ...

"I can't lie and say it's something that wasn't thrown around between me and my agent," Daniels said. "I thought it was the best thing for me just to come out here and work and be with the guys and show what I'm here for.

"It's not in my personality to not come out here. I love being around the guys." ...
"Guys try to play well in this league and try to earn their keep, earn some security on a team and be there for awhile," Daniels said.

"I think I've tried to do that. I would love to be here. So if they can do that, it would be the best thing for both sides."
