Former Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has explained why he signed with the Vikings. Jones was benched by the Giants last week due to a combination of ineffectiveness and the team not wanting to risk being on the hook for a large injury guarantee.

After an up-and-down career in New York, Jones’ landing spot might offer some much-needed stability with a quarterback-friendly coach, Kevin O’Connell, at the helm. Jones was drafted as the heir to two-time Super Bowl champ Eli Manning. But over six years, Jones played under three headed coaches: Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge and Brian Daboll.
