However, with his time with the Giants ending, he’s looking forward to a new era. As the quarterback plans to chart his way to his next NFL outfit, one NFL insider reveals two teams that he’s eyeing.
Daniel Jones Looks Forward To Joining These 2 NFL Teams
As soon as Jones and the Giants parted ways, the rumors about his next destination started raging. Fans and analysts alike have made their intentions clear as to where Jones should go next. However, now the QB’s desired landing spots are brought forth.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that Jones wants to link up with a team in playoff contention. As such, two teams fit his demands and may be looking to bolster their QB depth.
“The Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings are two of the likeliest teams to land free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones, per sources. But they are hardly the only ones. Jones wants to sign with a playoff contender, and what happens in Week 12 is expected to influence his decision,” Schefter tweeted.

An Emotional Jones Reflects on His Journey With the Giants
Jones ended his career with the Giants with a 24-44-1 record. He registered 14,582 yards for 70 touchdowns, he also has 15 rushing TDs under his belt.
“There have been some great times, but of course, we all wish there had been more of those,” Jones said in a statement. “The reality of the NFL is it’s hard to win games. It requires consistent performance for everyone involved. We didn’t do that well enough, so the idea to change something happens and I understand.”
Tommy DeVito has been named the starter for the Giants in place of the 27-year-old Jones. DeVito won over fans with his electric performances last season.
