Ex-Giants QB Daniel Jones signed to Vikings for ‘Veteran’ Position

Former New York Giants and current Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones is at the center of plenty of offseason talk, since he’s set to enter free agency. If Jones doesn’t stay with the Vikings, all bets are off as to where he could land.

Of course, Jones won’t be back with the Giants, but he could be with another NFC team, one that offers him a stellar learning opportunity.

Vikings QB Daniel Jones Landing Spots

In a January 22 feature about the Best and Worst NFL landing spots for potential quarterbacks changing teams in 2025, NFL analyst and expert Kristopher Knox lays out where he thinks Jones should, and shouldn’t, land.

While Knox says that Jones could possibly remain in Minnesota and keep learning under head coach Kevin O’Connell, he believes that going to the Los Angeles Rams could be better for Jones. Why? He notes that O’Connell learned under Rams head coach Sean McVay, so having Jones learn under McVay could really help the still budding quarterback.

nox also states that it doesn’t appear that the Rams will lose franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford to retirement, since following the Rams falling out of the playoffs, Stafford told ESPN’s Sarah Barshop that he still has some good football left in him.

Rams quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo going to be a free agent, so the Rams “could use a veteran backup,” Knox notes, and “Jones could fill that role while learning under one of the brightest offensive minds in football.”

The absolute worst spot Jones could end up, according to Knox, is the Tennessee Titans.
