Jones signed with the Vikings' practice squad on Wednesday after being waived by the New York Giants. The Minnesota Vikings were associated with the breaking NFL news of the day when it was revealed that they signed former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to their practice squad Wednesday.

Two days before the Minnesota Vikings signed Daniel Jones, the head coach praised the Giants’castoff quarterback — without getting into specifics about the team’s potential interest in the quarterback.

Jones is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Vikings for the remainder of this season with a payout of $375,000, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. The football star will start in the practice squad, which would allow him to sing with another team if a starting QB position opens up.
