Recently released quarterback Daniel Jones may be considering a future with the Baltimore Ravens.

Former Sports Illustrated journalist Peter King shared on the ‘Let’s Go! podcast’ that Jones is not looking for a multi-year contract, wanting to “go somewhere for the rest of the year” and after the season, be able to pick his team.

“Adam Schefter said it and he said it absolutely right on ESPN on Sunday, that it looks like the Ravens and the Vikings are the leaders in the clubhouse,” King said (14:35 mark). “Now, look, I think Daniel Jones would prefer to go to the Baltimore Ravens.”

While joining the Minnesota Vikings behind a “hobbling” Sam Darnold might offer more playing time, the latter option gives Jones the opportunity to join a solid organization like the Ravens, where he can learn from Lamar Jackson and Todd Monken and will be better in the long run.

“He is not looking to stick it to the Giants to go play for somebody so he can show the Giants, see what you’re missing,” King said (14:45 mark). “No, he wants to go play for a winner. He wants to learn more about this game.”

In Baltimore, Jones will have the opportunity to build strong film and make a case for a lucrative contract with another team.
