Vikings sign Daniel Jones to one-year deal, offering him a new opportunity, says O'Connell
u/alex •
Daniel Jones signs with the Minnesota Vikings for the remainder of the season, providing depth at the quarterback position.
Why it matters: The addition of Jones gives the Vikings insurance in case of injuries to their starting quarterbacks and adds experience to their roster.
What's new: Jones became a free agent after parting ways with the New York Giants and has now found a new home with the Vikings.
Yes, but: Although Jones is joining the practice squad initially, there is a possibility he could sign with another team if a starting quarterback gets injured within the next three weeks.
What to watch: Keep an eye on the Vikings' quarterback situation as Jones adds competition and depth to the roster.
What's next: Jones will likely serve as a backup to starting quarterback Sam Darnold and provide support alongside Nick Mullens.
- Kevin O'Connell on Daniel Jones: "I will say tons of respect for Daniel Jones as a player and a person... I've been a big fan of Daniel's for a long time, and I hope wherever his next step takes him, it's a good opportunity for him."
The bottom line: The Vikings have bolstered their quarterback depth by signing Daniel Jones, providing stability and experience behind their current starters.
