Minnesota Vikings signing ex-Giants QB Daniel Jones to practice squad
The Vikings are signing former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, according to numerous reports. He was released by New York last week and cleared waivers on Monday.
Jones will reportedly begin on the Vikings' practice squad, but he'll have an opportunity to work his way up the depth chart and presumably surpass Nick Mullens as the backup to Sam Darnold before long.
With Minnesota, Jones gets a chance to learn under Kevin O'Connell, Josh McCown, and the rest of the Vikings' excellent coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball. He's joining a playoff contender and won't have any pressure to potentially start, given how well Darnold has played this season. But with the Vikings only having current rookie J.J. McCarthy under contract next season at QB, Jones could potentially be in the mix to return in 2025.
Jones, 27, was the 6th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Giants. He started 69 games for them over the last six seasons, going 24-44-1. Jones and the Giants beat the Vikings in the wild card round of the 2022 postseason.
