He simply chose one of the 12 that weren't starting him.

A bidding war for a 3rd string

That was clearly just rumor and farce. I also suspect he'll have limited interest this offseason, despite the number of QB-needy teams. He's likely looking at a Mitchell Trubisky-to-Pittsburgh type deal, adjusted for inflation.

lol. I'm not sure you can classify a league min salary as a bidding war.

It wasn't even like The Price is Right, where someone bid $1 more.

League min?  Thought it was federal minimum wage?

Vikings must be starting to see what we have been seeing for a very very long time!

He is probably the best #3 QB in NFL History

That's fair.

I do think his value would be 3rd or 4th and short

Trubisky is Allen's back up in Buffalo.

I'm referring to his post Chi deal with Pitt; he actually had comparable numbers to DJ. 

Daniel is going to be 1-2 in the playoffs

TD: Clearly, three teams were not promising to make Jones a starter, but tell me honestly:

Do you believe Jones would have done worse than Darnold did in the tonight's game against the Rams?

I do not. Jones' mobility (however lumbering and/or limited it might have been) would have proven to be a much-needed asset which the Vikings desperately needed (and which Darnold completely lacks).

Good thing there is no hate for Daniel Jones.   Otherwise there would be a slew of posts mocking the man who isn't even on the team anymore
