Daniel Jones to sign with Vikings, per sources: Why Minnesota is adding ex-Giants QB

By Amos Morale III, Alec Lewis, Charlotte Carroll and Dianna Russini The Minnesota Vikings are signing former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, team sources confirmed Wednesday. Jones’ Minnesota move offers chance for fresh start After an up-and-down career in New York, Jones’ landing spot might offer some much-needed stability with a quarterback-friendly coach, Kevin O’Connell, at the helm. But injuries derailed his 2023 season and Jones never looked that sharp again during his tenure in New York. That shared relationship could give the Vikings an edge this offseason if Darnold signs elsewhere for a sizable contract, and if the Vikings feel Jones could back up McCarthy.
