The Indianapolis Colts are right in the thick of the mix for free agent quarterback Daniel Jones. According to The Athletic insider Dianna Russini, the Colts and the Minnesota Vikings are the two expected leading contenders to land Jones in free agency.
Diana Russini of ESPN reported on Sunday that there are now two expected leading contenders to sign veteran quarterback Daniel Jones in free agency this offseason. They are the Indianapolis Colts and the Minnesota Vikings.
Minnesota Vikings free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones has a few teams in mind for his next destination, and the Vikings are on his shortlist.
The Athletic's Diana Russini reported the Vikings are attempting to pivot to Jones, who they took for a trial run for the remainder of the 2024 season after his release from the New York Giants. However, there is a snag in Minnesota as a deal has yet to be finalized with Jones.
The Minnesota Vikings are expected to hand the reins to McCarthy in 2025, and that could make them a less attractive destination for veteran quarterbacks in free agency.
