The Vikings reportedly signed the former Giants QB to their practice squad on Wednesday.
Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell will have another quarterback to mold starting Friday, when former New York Giants starter Daniel Jones arrives. Jones, 27,, just days after being released from his four-year, $160 million deal he signed with New York a little over two years ago.
"I've always been a fan ," O'Connell said. "Really like the person, the human being, the makeup. Then the player Daniel Jones, I think there's so much out in front of him that are going to be really good things that we get to personally be a part of, and I can't wait to work with him." "It validates, I think, a lot of the things our players have built," O'Connell said when asked about what it means that Jones chose Minnesota over other suitors. "It validates, hopefully, that our players and players that come into this building know that they're going to get the same version of me every single day. They know that I'm going to tremendously love and care about them and try to help them be the best version of themselves that they can be.
