00:00You know Jones is out there eliminating teams from a list I'll be honest with

00:08you I am absolutely disgusted a terrible quarterback has a list he's lucky that

00:14he is getting picked up the Giants did him a massive favor anyone who's saying

00:18that they treated him wrongly are insane quite frankly the fact that they gave

00:22him his release to get more money from a team one of the nicest things I've ever

00:27seen any franchise do in my life for some reason the Vikings excited to bring

00:32Daniel Jones into their building Joe yeah I think it's a big-picture type of

00:36look when you look at just the Minnesota Vikings in 2025 Sam Donald is

00:40not going to be there I don't believe they have JJ McCarthy and you have an

00:44opportunity for Daniel Jones to resurrect his career and be a lifelong

00:48backup where he can make some money earn the 40 million dollars and and maybe

00:52perform in a limited role but Kevin O'Connell has coached up the quarterbacks

00:56and that's the biggest thing when you look at Sam Donald and the development

00:59throws for 301 last week they pull out the victory they won four straight

01:03overexceeded expectations and again I don't think Daniel Jones Donnie is going

01:08to be a starter in the league but we see how important now backup quarterbacks

01:12are to the success of teams in terms of winning division championships and more

01:17importantly making the playoffs yeah the interesting part is I do think it's more

01:20short term than long term for Minnesota because I think it's good business pay

01:23a couple hundred grand you probably get a compensatory pick when he signs with

01:25another team because I don't think Daniel Jones was let me pick Minnesota

01:29because you drafted a first rounder last year and I'm not gonna have a really

01:32chance to compete for a starting job here and again I'm not saying he's going

01:35to be a starter but at his level here he probably figures I'm not really in

01:38backup mode yet I would like to challenge for a starting position that's

01:41not coming in Minnesota I do like to move from that Weber because if it does

01:44turn into a six seventh or fifth round compensatory pick whatever it might be

01:48when he signed somewhere else in the offseason that's probably why they did

01:50it it's a move that's no harm no damage and I don't think there's any upside

01:55it's not like if Sam Darnold goes down thank goodness we have Daniel Jones like

01:58no he can't throw the football so there you go I just I don't know he had a list

02:02are you serious he has a list
