The Vikings QB situation could gain clarity quickly. The post Vikings QB Daniel Jones Gets Good News Before Free Agency appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Daniel Jones is set to hit free agency. Should the Minnesota Vikings look to bring him back for the 2025 season?

That free agent quarterback was none other than Daniel Jones, who spent the better part of the last six seasons as the Giants' starting quarterback. As Jones and the Vikings prepare to make their 2025 playoff run, let's take a look at how Danny Dimes ended up in Minnesota.

Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones was activated to the 53-man roster in time for the playoffs, but Kevin O'Connell has kept his role hushed.

Quarterback Sam Darnold was a shell of himself over the team's final two games, committing three turnovers and getting sacked 11 times despite throwing for a combined 411 yards and a single touchdown.

As such, Minnesota will be in prime position to revive another former starting quarterback's career in 2025 -- potentially as McCarthy's backup and/or his competition. The Vikings signed former New York Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones after he was cut mid-season and bringing him back is an option if Darnold departs.

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to consider replacing Sam Darnold with former New York Giants starting QB Daniel Jones.

The Minnesota take on the LA Rams in Monday’s Wild Card game, with the former Giants QB promoted to the active roster.

Jones signed to the Vikings’ practice squad shortly after he had been released by the Giants earlier this season.

Would Minnesota get the most value by franchise-tagging its quarterback? Who actually makes the final decisions on draft night?
