Jordan Schultz has reported that the Detroit Lions are among the teams expressing strong interest in former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
Waived by the Giants on Saturday, Jones has attracted attention from multiple playoff-contending teams seeking to bolster their quarterback depth.
Schultz noted that the Ravens, Vikings, Lions, 49ers, and Dolphins are all expected to target Jones once he clears waivers.
These teams view the move as not only a chance to reinforce their rosters for a postseason push but also as an opportunity to develop Jones within their systems.
For the Lions, who are enjoying a successful season, pursuing Jones appears to be about enhancing depth and experience behind starter Jared Goff.
While Jones struggled during his time in New York, Detroit may see potential in grooming him within their offensive scheme, either as a backup or a future contributor.
Jones is set to clear waivers on Monday, after which he can sign with any team.
A decision regarding Jones’s next destination could happen this week, as multiple teams compete for his services during the critical final stretch of the NFL season.
