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?

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.

Daniel Jones is the Vikings' emergency No. 3 quarterback for tonight's wild card playoff game against the Rams in Arizona. Nick Mullens remains Sam Darnold's backup. Head coach Kevin O'Connell left open the possibility earlier this week of Jones surpassing Mullens as the team's No.

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

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.

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.

After the Giants cut starting quarterback Daniel Jones, he joined Minnesota’s practice squad. It was a wise move, aimed at getting him on a team while maintaining the flexibility to sign with another team’s active roster, should the opportunity arise.

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