NFL Rumors: Daniel Jones, Vikings Agree to Contract After Giants Release

Giants Release Jones

The New York Giants have released quarterback Daniel Jones, a move that has been rumored for weeks. Jones, the Giants’ first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, struggled to live up to expectations during his four seasons with the team. He threw for 8,128 yards, 45 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions in 48 career games.

Vikings Sign Jones

Shortly after his release, Jones agreed to a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are in need of a quarterback after trading Kirk Cousins to the Denver Broncos. Jones will compete with Nick Mullens for the starting job in Minnesota.

Expert Analysis

“This is a great opportunity for Daniel Jones,” said ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky. “He’s going to a team with a lot of weapons on offense, and I think he can be successful there.”

Future Outlook

Jones will have a chance to prove himself in Minnesota. If he can perform well, he could earn a long-term contract with the Vikings or another team. However, if he struggles, his NFL career could be in jeopardy.
