Daniel Jones predicted to leave Vikings for QB whisperer in 2025

For a guy the New York Giants dumped midseason, Daniel Jones is finding himself in some pretty flattering company these days. After spending the back half of the 2024 season in Minnesota under head coach Kevin O’Connell’s QB-friendly tutelage, the former Giants starter is now being linked to another offensive mastermind: Sean McVay.

The Los Angeles Rams head coach, known for turning around quarterbacks and crafting dynamic offenses, might just be the next stop on Jones’ ongoing journey to stay relevant.

It’s not hard to see the appeal—at least for Jones. McVay turned Jared Goff into a Super Bowl starter, squeezed a few solid games out of Baker Mayfield, and, oh yeah, revitalized Matthew Stafford’s career en route to a Lombardi Trophy. Learning under McVay could be a golden opportunity for Jones, who desperately needs to prove he’s more than just a cautionary tale about overpaying quarterbacks.

But let’s not gloss over the glaring irony here: Brian Daboll, the man the Giants hired specifically for his QB-whispering abilities, failed spectacularly with Jones. Daboll’s work with Josh Allen in Buffalo built his reputation, but his inability to coax consistency out of Jones now looks like a career-defining misfire. If Jones goes to L.A. and thrives, it won’t just be an indictment of Daboll—it’ll be salt in the wound for a Giants franchise still searching for answers under center.
