Ex-NY Giants Starting QB Signs With MN Vikings

EAGAN, MN — Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, according to multiple reports.

Jones became a free agent on Monday after clearing waivers. He and the Giants mutually agreed to part ways after a 2-9 start to the season.

Jones preferred to sign with a playoff contender and is expected to join the Vikings (9-2) for the remainder of the season on a $375,000 contract, ESPN reported.

Both Jones and current Vikings starting quarterback Sam Darnold are set to become free agents at the end of the season.

Rookie Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is still recovering from a season-ending meniscus injury and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2025 season.

Minnesota takes on the Arizona Cardinals (6-5) in Minneapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.
