Daniel Jones Off to Minnesota

The Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to their practice squad, per multiple reports. Jones recently cleared waivers, as expected, and reportedly wanted to sign with a contending team. That’s certainly the case with the 9-2 Vikings. Eventually, Jones should slide into the backup role behind Sam Darnold. But the former Giant remains a shaky bet to start come Week 1 of 2025. The Vikings just invested a Round 1 pick in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

Former Giants QB Daniel Jones has been granted his release from the team after being demoted to QB3 on the team over their bye week. His large contract makes it likely that Jones will last through waivers but if he hits open free agency, there should be plenty of interest with the current NFL QB landscape.

The Giants are benching QB Daniel Jones, NFL Network reports. It's being "deemed a football decision," according to Mike Garafolo, which is fair considering Jones' play this season. But the move also protects the Giants from the 2025 $23 million injury guarantee in Jones' contract. We've very likely seen the last of Jones on the field for the Giants. The team will start QB Tommy DeVito -- not QB Drew Lock -- against the Buccaneers this weekend, per NFL Network.
