Daniel Jones now gets a chance to restart somewhere new after struggling at the end of his time with the Giants.
And that team will be the Minnesota Vikings.
BetOnline offered the Vikings as Jones next team with the second shortest odds paying out $250 for every $100 bet.
Vikings, head coach Kevin O'Connell announced the move on Wednesday.
"Good addition to our quarterback room," O'Connell said of Jones. "I've always been a fan. Love, really like the person, the human being, the makeup. And then the player Daniel Jones, I think there's so much out in front of him that are going to be really good things that we get to personally be a part of. I can't wait to work with him."
Jones, who is expected to arrive in Minnesota on Friday, plans to sign with Vikings' practice squad, which would give him the opportunity to work with a non-Giants NFL coaching staff for the first time in his career.
A former Giants quarterback, Sam Darnold, has been sensational as the Vikings new starting quarterback this season.
Jones got his start in the league with the Giants, who selected him with the No. 6 overall draft pick in 2019 out of Duke as the eventual replacement for Eli Manning. While he was the team’s starter consistently over the past six seasons.
Despite his performance, the team still signed him to a jaw dropping $160 million contract.
