John Penisini, a rookie sixth-round pick, outplayed Shelton at nose tackle and should man the position this fall.
Daniel appeared in four games as a backup to Matthew Stafford, completing 29 of 43 passes for 264 yards with one touchdown and two interception.
The Lions let it be known they were willing to trade Daniel earlier this month, but found no takers for his bloated $4.3 million salary, of which $1.5 million is fully guaranteed.
David Blough remains under contract as a backup, but the Lions will add another veteran in free agency and/or a rookie around the draft.
Once processed, Daniels release will create $2.3 million in cap space, while Shelton s will free up $4 million.

The Detroit Lions head into free agency with needs across the board, rocking a new head coach, general manager and starting quarterback.
Detroit’s defense has been among the NFL’s worst two years running, failing to generate consistent pressure, protect leads or flip the field via takeaways. On the other side of the ball, the passing attack has been a strength in recent years but heads into unchartered waters without quarterback Matthew Stafford and the team’s core trio of receivers.
