When the New York Giants parted ways with Daniel Jones, the NFL barely had time to blink before Dallas Cowboys fans chimed in. And no, it wasn’t to troll their NFC East rivals. Instead, Cowboys Nation has a bold idea: Sign him up!
Fans are eyeing Jones as a sneaky insurance policy — or maybe even a secret weapon. The thought of the ex-Giants QB in a star-emblazoned helmet has Twitter buzzing, proving that in the NFL, one team’s cut is another team’s potential goldmine.
Dallas Cowboys Fans Rally for Daniel Jones
When NFL insider Ian Rapoport dropped the bombshell tweet on X (formerly known as Twitter) fans went into overdrive. The news wasn’t just a headline; it was the spark for a tidal wave of reactions, with Cowboys Nation at the forefront.
Jones, who’s had a rollercoaster stint with the Giants, is now staring at a fresh start (pending clearance from waivers, thanks to his hefty contract). While analysts speculate about his next landing spot, Cowboys fans have one thing on their minds: “Jerry Jones, sign this man.”
One fan kept it simple, tweeting, “Come on, Jerry, do it…” — a plea loaded with anticipation.
Come on, Jerry, do it. Why the hell not

Others joined the chorus, with one quipping, “Jerry Jones is already on the phone to overpay him to come to the @dallascowboys.”

Of course, there’s some lingering animosity toward the Giants. One fan roasted their handling of Jones: “Giants made the guy play safety on the scout team and then ousted him. What a joke.”

Another fantasized about Thanksgiving revenge, writing, “I need Daniel Jones to sign with the Cowboys so we play him on Thanksgiving lmao.”
Outside the Cowboys hype, some predicted Jones might end up elsewhere. The Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins popped up as contenders, with fans eyeing his potential as a solid backup.
“Saw this coming two miles away. Where do you think he lands? My money is the Colts,” wrote one fan.
“The Dolphins should see if they can get him as a backup,” added another.
If the Cowboys do take the leap, it could shake up the NFC East narrative. Whether Jones reinvents himself or stays in the backup lane, his next chapter is a story NFL fans won’t want to miss.
Jones Handles Giants QB Shake-Up With Class
Jones is taking his benching with class. After being replaced by Tommy DeVito (amid the Giants’ dismal 2-8 record), he addressed the media, delivering a heartfelt message to the organization and fans.
“I wanted to play,” Jones admitted, confirming that the injury guarantee in his contract played a role in the decision. Protecting his health avoids a hefty cap hit for the Giants, ensuring flexibility for next season.
Gracious in the moment, Jones thanked the Mara and Tisch families, teammates, and fans, calling his time in New York “a dream come true,” a classy exit for the former franchise QB.
