Daniel Jones: Minnesota Vikings sign quarterback five days after New York Giants departure
Quarterback Daniel Jones has joined the Minnesota Vikings, five days after being let go by the New York Giants.
The 27-year-old American has signed a $375,000 (£295,000) contract for the remainder of the season and will join his new Vikings team-mates on Friday.
His contract with the Giants was “mutually terminated” earlier this week less than two years after he signed a $160m (£126m) extension with the NFL franchise.
“I’ve always been a fan,” Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said of Jones, who was a first-round draft pick in 2019.
“I think there’s so much out in front of him that’s going to be really good things that we get to personally be a part of, and I can’t wait to work with him.”
Jones joins the Vikings with the franchise winning nine of their 11 games so far this season.
He is set to compete with Nick Mullens and Brett Rypien as back-up to regular starter Sam Darnold.
