More proof that any team trading for Daniel Jones at the NFL trade deadline is chasing fool's gold
The next thing you'll hear about Daniel Jones is how the Minnesota Vikings or some other team is interested in trading for him before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
Key points
- But there was a moment on Sunday when Jones seemed to blame the uncertain situation the Colts find themselves in with the deadline approaching as a reason the club's collective performance hasn't been as good as expected.
- The reason there has been so much "stuff going on" is because the club, led by Jones, has been playing poorly, which led management to begin considering the makeup of the team next year rather than the rest of this year.
- MINNESOTA VIKINGS' SOFT BENCHING OF KYLER MURRAY LEADS TO CARSON WENTZ TAKING OVER AS NEW STARTING QB Jones plays for the Indianapolis Colts now and continues to be one of the most disappointing and under-performing reasons that team has been in garage sale mode for nearly a month, as losses increased and optimism dropped off the table.
THE WEEK OF THE BACKUP QB IN THE NFL KICKS OFF AS SANDERS, MILTON, MINSHEW, LOCK, AND WENTZ START The idea the Vikings or any other team might think Jones is a solution to a quarterback problem rather than a multiplication of a problem is curious.
Additional details
- SHANE STEICHEN SAYS DANIEL JONES WON'T BE BENCHED BUT COACH AND GENERAL MANAGER CHRIS BALLARD ARE IN TROUBLE Jones threw an interception on the Colts' final offensive play to seal their loss.
- "There's been so much stuff going on and distractions and different things, and we've got to do a better job handling it as a team, collectively executing together, as a group," Jones said.
- That was Daniel Jones, who, rather than comeback wins, had mostly delivered ways to lose and disappointment during his time with the Indy and the New York Giants before that.
- You quarterback is Daniel Jones to whom you also committed to this year before he remained healthy and still freakin' helped crash your now 2-7 season.
- Jones may get a chance to do that on another team that will see him as improving their situation – kind of like the Colts did before this season began.
