Despite starting all 10 games for the New York Giants this season, Daniel Jones was demoted to fourth-string quarterback after the team’s bye week, even playing safety on the scout team. Realizing he was no longer in the team’s future plans, Jones approached Giants owner John Mara and requested his release, which was granted. Now, Jones is waiting to clear waivers, which is expected to happen on Monday. He has previously indicated that he prefers to join a playoff contender, and we now have a clearer picture of which teams are interested in signing him.
The Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings are two of the most likely teams to sign Jones, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. While Jones might have more immediate playing opportunities with a team not in playoff contention, he wants to be part of a successful organization for the first time in his career. As he waits to make his decision, Jones is closely watching the Week 12 games to see which teams strengthen their playoff aspirations.

Although the Ravens and Vikings are leading the race to sign Jones, they aren’t the only teams interested. His decision will likely depend on how the playoff picture shapes up after Week 12, with several teams still vying for his services.
