Daniel Jones is planning to sign with the Minnesota Vikings, joining a playoff contender that needs a backup behind Sam Darnold and has a quarterback-friendly head coach in Kevin O’Connell. Jones was shut down by the Giants last week, and then he requested his release. He escaped a 2-9 Giants team that limps into Thanksgiving Day at Dallas with either Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito starting at quarterback. Saquon Barkley is an MVP frontrunner after leaving the Giants in free agency for the Philadelphia Eagles last spring. This is a developing story. Check back for details.
