Looks like Danny Dimes is going to the playoffs.
I know that people are not high on Jones, but a chance to clear his head and have a fresh start could do him good.
But look at the Vikings. They did not sign Cousins to yet another ridiculous contract (they went further with Case Keenum at QB because they were able to field a more balanced team). So they got JJ McCarthy, who is using his down time to get bigger.
They've got Darnold, who they could possibly still sign as a backup. And Jones, who could also still be signed next year as a backup. Or they might choose to continue to go with Darnold as the starter if Darnold is reasonable.
2024 numbers
JJ McCarthy 1.56 percent of the cap
Sam Darnold 1.96 percent of the cap
Daniel Jones (don't know yet)
Kirk Cousins 9.79 percent of the cap, which surprised me. It seems only Jerry Jones is a drunken overspending jackass.
I personally think the QB position needs to be treated just like every other position, expendable. The only exception would be if the QB is obviously truly special. But even Mahomes in 2024 is 14.49 percent compared to Dak's 16.99 percent.
