As Daniel Jones prepares to become a free agent for the first time in his career when he clears waivers, the veteran quarterback is expected to draw interest from several teams.

According to ESPN Jeremiah FowlerThe Las Vegas Raiders have been cited by people within the NFL as a “reasonable option” for Jones given their unstable quarterback situation.

Fowler also cited the San Francisco 49ers as a “situation to watch” with Brock Purdy currently dealing with a shoulder injury.

After being benched by the New York Giants in favor of Tommy DeVito earlier this week, the club announced Friday that it had granted Jones’ request to be released following his meeting with the team president , John Mara.

Jones was expected to be released by the Giants after the season once they made the decision to bench him, but this at least now gives him the opportunity to work with a new team. coaches to potentially rebuild some value in the future. the offseason.

The Raiders have very little to lose at this point. Their 2-8 record is second-worst in the AFC, ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9). Gardner Minshew II was their primary quarterback with eight starts. Aidan O’Connell started the other two games. They totaled 2,238 yards, 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

San Francisco’s need for a quarterback will depend on how long Purdy is out. He has already been excluded for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Brandon Allen is set to make his first start in an NFL game since the 2021 season with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Purdy’s shoulder problem does not appear to be serious. He had an MRI on Thursday. I didn’t show something alarming, but this could be a situation where the 49ers want insurance just to be safe.

Fowler also listed the Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys as potential landing spots for Jones. The Jaguars are without Trevor Lawrence due to a shoulder injury, but he could come back after their leave this week.

The Cowboys didn’t even try to make a move after Dak Prescott was excluded for the season due to a hamstring injury that required surgery, so there’s no reason to expect Jerry Jones to do anything now.

Jones, who is expected to clear waivers and become a free agent on Monday, went 2-8 in 10 starts for the Giants this season. He threw for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.
