Daniel Jones opens up about decision to sign with Vikings after split from Giants: 'Excited to be here'

"Excited to be here, excited to be a Minnesota Viking - awesome opportunity. Just looking to help out and be a part of this team. We've got some great momentum going and just want to help out in any way I can."

When asked why Minnesota was the right fit among other teams searching for help at the quarterback position, Jones pointed specifically to the success the offense has seen this season. 

"I think you look at, offensively, what they've been able to do. I think the system, coach O'Connell, his staff - just a lot of good things happening across the board as a team, as an organization, but on offense especially. Just excited to join that and help out wherever I can."  

The Giants are 0-2 since parting ways, but Jones seems to have put the past to rest. 

"It's been a crazy last couple of weeks, for sure. Certainly a lot going on. At the end of the day, I'm excited to be here. This is an awesome opportunity," he said on Friday. "I'm looking forward to learning the system and building relationships with these guys and helping the team."
