Free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones is reportedly set to sign with the Minnesota Vikings following his tumultuous end with the New York Giants.
Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has reportedly found a new home; a team that is contending for the playoffs and even the Super Bowl. Jones is set to sign a deal with the Minnesota Vikings, FOX Sports reported Wednesday. He will be the backup to Sam Darnold, who is having a breakout season, and learn Kevin O’Connell’s offense.
The Vikings have been a surprise contender this season with Darnold under center. The veteran quarterback was thrust into the starting role as rookie J.J. McCarthy was sidelined for the season with a knee injury. Darnold has led the Vikings to a 9-2 record, only one game behind the Detroit Lions for the NFC North lead. Jones’ run with the Giants came to an end last week. After he seemingly said goodbye at a press conference, team co-owner John Mara announced the team would be releasing him.
In 70 games, he had 14,582 passing yards and 70 touchdown passes. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
