Chicago Bears sign former Notre Dame long snapper in 2nd stint
Former Notre Dame long snapper Scott Daly has been with a handful of teams since he entered the NFL in 2019. He will be joining the Bears once again.
Chicago Bears have re-signed former Notre Dame long snapper Scott Daly to their active roster. According to NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, Daly joined the team after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is Daly's second time with the Bears, having spent time with the squad previously from 2024 to 2025. The Bears cut Daly before the 2025 season as part of their final roster reductions.
Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Daly played for the Green Bay Packers in late August, but was later waived. Earlier in his career, Daly had stints with the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 and the Detroit Lions from 2021 to 2023. He also played for the San Antonio Commanders in the Alliance of American Football in 2019 and the New York Guardians in the XFL in 2020.
A native of Downers Grove, Illinois, Daly played for Notre Dame from 2012 to 2016, serving as the team's starting long snapper for three seasons. He started in 39 consecutive games and was flawless on 253 snapping opportunities during his sophomore and junior years.
