New York Giants great Carl Banks still believes Daniel Jones can resurrect his NFL career. The former Giants starting quarterback washed out of New York midway through the 2024 season after he was released by the team.

Former New York Giants and current Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones is set to be a free agent during the offseason.

"The time is now for Darnold to cash in on his strong regular season. The New York Giants could be a strong landing spot for him. They have a true No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers and a head coach in Brian Daboll who can maximize Darnold's arm strength and athleticism, as he did with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills," Knox wrote.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley went off for more than 230 yards from scrimmage on Sunday, including two touchdown runs of 62 yards or more. The historical performance helped propel the Eagles to a 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams

If things worked out as projected in this particular mock draft, Giants fans would probably be pretty happy with the first round of the draft.

That free agent quarterback was none other than Daniel Jones, who spent the better part of the last six seasons as the Giants' starting quarterback. As Jones and the Vikings prepare to make their 2025 playoff run, let's take a look at how Danny Dimes ended up in Minnesota.

Eli Manning has volunteered to help the New York Giants draft a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft after the franchise moved on from Daniel Jones midseason.

Kiper has Sanders’ teammate, cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, as the No. 2 pick to the Browns. The Giants hit the reset button at quarterback earlier this season, releasing Daniel Jones after six seasons and turning their eyes to the 2025 draft.

The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

Bleacher Report 's Kristopher Knox says Jones' best landing spot this offseason will come in Los Angeles: "Jones was released by the Giants in November and quickly landed in Minnesota, where he served as depth behind Darnold. While the 27-year-old hasn't established himself as a reliable starter, that doesn't guarantee he can," said Knox.
