Daniel Jones’ subsequent staff could also be with whom he can see a transparent future.
The Raiders have emerged as a “more interesting” possibility for the not too long ago launched ex-Giants quarterback after Gardner Minshew’s season was reduce quick Sunday attributable to a damaged collarbone, NFL Community reported Monday.
Jones, in concept, may begin for the Raiders down the stretch in hopes of re-signing for 2025 with the franchise coping with long-term uncertainty on the place.
“The Raiders are said to like Jones as an organization, and if he’s a free agent, they could emerge as an option. Why? Because Las Vegas expects to be a team in the market for a bridge starter in the 2025 offseason, while simultaneously also looking for its QB of the future,” NFL.com reported. “Jones could audition for his future role and maybe earn an even bigger one, while the Raiders get a look at a free agent-to-be. Las Vegas likely won’t make the playoffs, but that might be Jones’ best choice for his future.”
That Jones may probably swap one 2-9 staff for one more is an intriguing twist to his free company since an preliminary ESPN report acknowledged he would favor to land with a playoff contender.
The Vikings and Ravens had been talked about as doable touchdown spots.
The caveat has been that Jones wished to see what occurred in Week 12, and the Raiders now present the chance for him to presumably play now and get a head begin on 2025.
Minshew suffered a damaged collarbone within the 29-19 house loss to the Broncos
The one wholesome quarterback on Las Vegas’ roster is Desmond Ridder, who has not performed effectively within the NFL, whereas Minshew is a backup and 2023 fourth-round decide Aidan O’Connell, who’s out with a damaged thumb, has not impressed when wholesome.
The uninspiring quarterback room has the Raiders seeming like a staff destined to take a sign caller on this 12 months’s draft.
Jones, in concept, may begin for the Raiders for the ultimate 5 video games — we’ll assume he received’t be prepared to start out Friday towards the Chiefs — and make his pitch for 2025.
If he performs effectively, Jones may re-sign to both be the beginning quarterback — ought to the Raiders move on drafting a quarterback — or presumably function the bridge to the first-round decide.
Such a situation looks as if Jones’ finest likelihood for beginning video games in 2025, since his poor play with the Giants possible would have contending groups solely excited by a backup function.
Jones is slated to turn into a free agent at 4 p.m. Monday since no staff is anticipated to say the previous first-round decide and tackle the rest of his contract.
As soon as he’s a free agent, he can signal with any staff.
The Giants launched Jones on Friday not even two years right into a four-year, $160 million extension.
