McDaniel signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Buccaneers on Monday, Rand Getlin of NFL Network reports.

The Seahawks axed McDaniel's contract from their cap this summer in order to ink Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner to extensions. With his new organization, McDaniel will serve in the Buccaneers' defensive tackle rotation, which will contain him to IDP irrelevance yet again. Over the course of nine NFL seasons, he's tallied 203 tackles (127 solo), 10.5 sacks, and two fumble recoveries in 111 games.

McDaniel was released by the Seahawks on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Reports says the team's starting defensive tackle was released due to salary cap reasons following the new contracts for Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, as McDaniel was due to make over $3 million this season. McDaniel should not have much trouble finding a new home for the 2015 season and for now, Jordan Hill is in line to take over for McDaniel on Seattle's defensive line.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed Tony McDaniel will replace Red Bryant at five-technique defensive end.

McDaniel is similarly big, long (6'7/320), and difficult to move, and his 2013 performance suggests he could be an upgrade on Bryant versus the run. In Seattle's 4-3 under scheme, "five technique" is a pure run-stopping position, where the player occupies blocks and sets the edge. The Seahawks will get pass rush from Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, and Kevin Williams, among others.

Seahawks DT Tony McDaniel spent some time at defensive end during Thursday's OTAs.

The Seahawks need someone to fill the run-stuffing end role vacated by DE Red Bryant when he moved to Jacksonville. McDaniel will get the first crack to fill the void, but he will have to fend off a challenge from DT Greg Scruggs, who missed all of 2013 recovering from an ACL tear.

Seahawks re-signed DT Tony McDaniel to a two-year contract.

The deal is worth a "max" of $6.3 million. McDaniel was drawing interest from the Cowboys, but has opted to stay with the world champions. McDaniel started 15-of-16 games last season, ringing up 53 tackles and two sacks while swallowing up the run. He'll return as an early-down thumper.

ESPN Dallas reports the Cowboys are interested in free agent DT Tony McDaniel.

McDaniel is currently in contract negotiations with the Seahawks, so Jerry Jones may not get a chance to sign the 29-year-old. McDaniel proved to be a top-of-the-line interior run defender in Seattle last season. Dallas needs interior linemen.

The Seahawks are in contract talks with free agent DT Tony McDaniel.

McDaniel, 29, signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks last offseason and ended up starting 15 games. He recorded a career-high 53 tackles and two sacks while playing top-notch run defense. McDaniel stands 6-foot-6, 325 pounds.

Seahawks GM John Schneider said DT Tony McDaniel would likely get the first crack at replacing Alan Branch as the run-stuffing defensive tackle.

Branch, 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, started all 16 games last season and graded out in the bottom half of Pro Football Focus' defensive tackle rankings when it came to stopping the run. McDaniel is listed at 6-foot-7 and 305 pounds, and he has started just five games over his seven-year career. Seattle could look to add a defensive tackle in the draft.

Seahawks agreed to terms with DT Tony McDaniel, formerly of the Dolphins, on a one-year contract.

Free agent DT Tony McDaniel will visit the Seahawks Thursday.

The Miami Herald reports free agent DT Tony McDaniel won't re-sign with the Dolphins.

McDaniel was a valuable reserve in 2009-10, but struggled to stay healthy the past two seasons. He limped through knee and ankle issues in 2012, and notched just 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 11 games. An eight-year veteran, McDaniel should get a camp invite, but no guaranteed money.

Dolphins DT Tony McDaniel ended up undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee several weeks ago.

The injury bothered McDaniel throughout training camp, and he aggravated it versus the Texans in the season opener. McDaniels has felt "awesome" in a pair of limited practices this week and expects to play Sunday versus the Bengals.

Dolphins DE Tony McDaniel (hand) resumed practicing on Tuesday.

McDaniel injured his thumb in the season opener, requiring surgery to aid the recovery process. He'll return as a rotational player on a deep defensive line.

Dolphins DE Tony McDaniel is expected to be sidelined a couple of weeks with the hand injury that knocked him out of Monday night's game.

McDaniel reportedly underwent a surgical procedure to aid the recovery process. The rotational end could play with a club over his hand when he returns, but that won't be until after this week's game against the Texans. The Fins are deep on the defensive line, so this won't be a major loss.

Dolphins DE Tony McDaniel injured his thumb during Monday's loss to the Patriots.

McDaniel left in the first half and did not return. Jared Odrick stepped up at the start of the third quarter with a 39-yard interception return that set up a touchdown.

Dolphins DE Tony McDaniel left Monday night's Week 1 game against the Patriots with a hand injury.

He will not return. McDaniel was playing behind Kendall Langford and Jared Odrick on the defensive front. We'll get an update on the nature and severity of his injury after X-Rays.

Dolphins agreed to terms on a two-year, $6 million contract with DE Tony McDaniel.

Perhaps McDaniel found less interest on the open market than anticipated. Back in March, it was reported that the Dolphins were not expected to pay him while they have Kendall Langford and Jared Odrick ready to go. McDaniel will provide versatile depth.

Free agent DE Tony McDaniel is not expected back with the Dolphins.

The versatile McDaniel played in 15 games last season, compiling 36 tackles and three sacks. He'll likely be seeking more money and playing time than the Dolphins can offer him. The five-year veteran knows he'd be behind youngster Jared Odrick right out the gate.

Dolphins DE Tony McDaniel has been suspended one game for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

We assume it's as a result of his February arrest for misdemeanor battery, an incident that reportedly wasn't McDaniel's first. With Jared Odrick still out, Lionel Dotson and Ryan Baker will have to play a more integral role for the Dolphins in Week 4.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel confirms that Tony McDaniel will step in for Jared Odrick (leg) as the starting right defensive end.

McDaniel isn't a huge downgrade from Odrick, but the Dolphins defensive line is now thin. Fringe players Robert Rose and Lionel Dotson are McDaniels' backups.
