Daniel Jones Signs with Vikings After Giants Release
Quarterback Daniel Jones, recently released by the New York Giants, is set to join the Minnesota Vikings, according to an anonymous source who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Jones will be added to the Vikings’ practice squad less than a week after being waived by the Giants. The deal is not yet finalized.
The Vikings, currently with a 9-2 record, have had success this season with quarterback Sam Darnold. Jones will now join Nick Mullens and Brett Rypien in Minnesota’s quarterback lineup. Notably, rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy, who underwent season-ending knee surgery in August, recently had a second knee procedure.
Jones, a former No. 6 overall draft pick in 2019, started 24-44-1 with the Giants. His best season came in 2022, when he helped lead the team to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff victory over Minnesota. This season, he struggled with a 63% completion rate, throwing 8 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.
