• Colts' Daniel Jones: One-year deal made official

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones signed a one-year contract with the Colts on Wednesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports. Per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com, Jones' contract is guaranteed for $13.15 million and will be worth up to $14 million if he's active for all 17 regular-season games. The deal also contains up to $3.7 million in additional performance-based incentives. The stage is thus set for Jones -- the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft -- to compete with Anthony Richardson for the Colts' starting quarterback job throughout training camp and the preseason.

• Colts' Daniel Jones: In line to sign with Indy

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones is slated to sign with the Colts as both sides work to finalize a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jones' contract will be a one-year, $14 million deal once finalized, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The former Giants quarterback reportedly had an avenue to return to Minnesota, where he could have served as a veteran mentor to J.J. McCarthy (knee), but landing in Indianapolis will instead provide Jones with an opportunity to compete for the starting job against Anthony Richardson (back). General manager Chris Ballard had referred to an upcoming "open competition" between Richardson and a signal-caller to be determined, a role that will now be filled by Jones.

• Vikings' Daniel Jones: Headed for free agency

  01/30/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jones didn't play any snaps in the Vikings' 27-9 loss to the Rams on Jan. 13 in the wild-card round Minnesota signed him off its practice squad. After completing 216 of 341 passes (63.3 percent) for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 10 games for the Giants, Jones was released by the team and subsequently signed with the Vikings' practice squad. Though he was added to the roster for the playoffs, he was inactive for the wild-card round as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens. Jones is set to become a free agent this offseason, and while a return to Minnesota may be unlikely, the Vikings could receive a compensatory draft pick if he ends up signing elsewhere.

• Vikings' Daniel Jones: Emergency QB for wild-card round

  01/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams but will serve as the Vikings' emergency third-string quarterback, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Jones joined the Vikings' practice squad in late November after being released by the Giants. He wasn't elevated to Minnesota's active roster during the regular season, but he was signed to the active roster this past Tuesday. As the emergency quarterback, Jones will not be allowed to play Monday unless starter Sam Darnold and backup Nick Mullens were both to be taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

• Vikings' Daniel Jones: Joins active roster

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Vikings signed Jones off their practice squad Tuesday. The quarterback didn't see any time on the 53-man roster for the Vikings after being signed to the practice squad in late November. Even so, his ample starting experience with the Giants could make him a candidate to leapfrog Nick Mullens if starter Sam Darnold were to get hurt during Minnesota's upcoming postseason run. Jones is still scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, though by adding him to their roster, the Vikings could net a compensatory draft pick if the signal-caller signs elsewhere.
