Daniel Jones's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The former No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft lands with Kevin O'Connell following his abrupt release from New York. Jones will have the chance to sit behind Sam Darnold in hopes of regaining a starting job in the near future. Jones started 69 games for the Giants, racking up a 24-44-1 record behind 14,582 passing yards, 70 passing touchdowns, and 47 interceptions. He rushed for 2,179 yards and 15 scores. The 27-year-old is not on the fantasy football radar for now, but he's worth stashing in deep Superflex or two-QB leagues. If Darnold were to miss time, Jones would enter an offense with stud pass-catchers, and he still has a little bit of juice as a runner.

Free agent quarterback Daniel Jones has zeroed in on a "leading" choice and will reveal his intended signing destination to NFL teams on Wednesday, according to insider Josina Anderson, citing a high-ranking league official. It sounds like Jones will share the news of his signing within league circles today, and it's hard to imagine that news stays private for long. We've previously seen him linked to the Ravens and Vikings as he would reportedly prefer to be a backup quarterback with a contender. However, Anderson notes that the Raiders are still interested after Gardner Minshew II broke his collarbone last Sunday.

Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones officially cleared waivers on Monday and is an unrestricted free agent and is free to sign with any team. Jones prefers to sign with a playoff contender, with potential destinations being the Baltimore Ravens or Minnesota Vikings, according to sources. He has reportedly already eliminated the Las Vegas Raiders, who just lost quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) for the rest of the season, as an option. A team would have had to claim the balance of Jones' contract ($11,833,333) for this year and the $23 million in injury guarantees after this season if they wanted him off waivers. The former sixth overall pick in the 2019 out of Duke spent six seasons with the Giants and really only had one solid season in the first year with Brian Daboll as head coach in 2022. Jones will likely have to serve in a backup role if he signs with a contender.

Free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones has been a hot topic since being released by the New York Giants last week. Jones has drawn quite a lot of interest and figures to sign with another organization soon. The Las Vegas Raiders reportedly have shown interest in signing Jones after quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) suffered a season-ending injury on Sunday. Despite that, Jones has reportedly said he's not interested in joining the two-win Raiders. Instead, Jones wants to join a playoff contender as he has drawn interest from multiple playoff teams. Right now, the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens are the two favorites to land Jones, according to Adam Schefter. It remains to be seen which team will actually sign Jones, but that should happen in the coming days. As for the Raiders, Desmond Ridder figures to start going forward with Jones deciding to go elsewhere.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Las Vegas Raiders could be in the market to sign quarterback Daniel Jones. The signal-caller, who was recently released by the New York Giants, is expected to clear waivers and hit free agency. The Ravens, Vikings, and 49ers have been a few teams rumored to be interested in his services, although he'd presumably be a backup. But with the Raiders quarterback struggles this season, Jones could find his way under center, even if it's only for a few games. He would also add value moving ahead if the team adds a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. Still, that's assuming Jones signs. Either way, there may be a lot of updates in this scenario in the next few days. For now, he isn't worth a spot on fantasy rosters.
