According to a report from Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions are one of the teams showing significant interest in former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. Waived by the Giants on Saturday, Jones has attracted attention from multiple playoff-contending teams looking to bolster their quarterback depth.
Schultz reported that the Ravens, Vikings, Lions, 49ers, and Dolphins are all expected to pursue Daniel Jones once he clears waivers. The report indicates that these teams see not only an opportunity to add a quarterback for a playoff push but also a chance to develop Jones in a system where he can learn and grow.
For the Lions, who are enjoying a strong season, their interest in Jones likely stems from a desire to add depth and experience behind starting quarterback Jared Goff. While Jones has faced challenges in New York, the Lions may view him as a potential asset, especially if they need a reliable backup or want to further develop him within their offensive system.
Jones will clear waivers on Monday, at which point he will be free to sign with any team.
A decision on where Jones will land could come as early as this week, with several teams competing for his services as the NFL season enters its final stretch.
