Chris Perkins: Is Grier or McDaniel responsible for Dolphins’ backup QB situation? Here’s what McDaniel saidAP News Summary at 6:40 p.m. EST
Roblox Adopt Me top 10 rarest pets, rankedDaniel Jones isn't technically free to sign with any NFL team he wants just yet, but that should be the case come Monday, Nov. 25. The New York Giants released their long-time quarterback, who started 69 games during his six-year tenure with the franchise, on Friday. The team did so less than two years after inking Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Jones should clear waivers by Monday and will likely get snapped up quickly thereafter. However, Schefter added that there are specific stipulations Jones will seek, even though he is unlikely to find a starting gig from the jump. Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images Jones, who was officially waived Saturday by the Giants, is expected to have multiple options but likely will prefer to finish this season on a playoff-contending team, where he will be involved in big games, rather than going to a meandering quarterback-needy team not remotely in playoff contention, according to sources. Multiple playoff-contending teams are likely to inquire about Jones and his level of interest, but it will not be long before Jones is finishing out the season somewhere other than New York. Jones makes the most sense as a backup on a team without a great option after QB1, which should bring the Miami Dolphins firmly into the mix. Miami is on a two-game winning streak and has moved back to 4-6, with the 3-8 New England Patriots coming to town on Sunday. The Dolphins currently sit ninth in the AFC playoff picture , but are beginning to look closer to the league's best offense, which they were in 2023 with a healthy Tua Tagovailoa the entire year. © Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Jones won't get on the field if Tagovailoa stays healthy, but that is a precarious bet for Miami to make given its QB's recent history of serious head trauma. The Dolphins clearly had zero viable plans behind Tagovailoa earlier this year, as three different backups floundered in his absence, during which the team was able to win just one game. There is no guarantee that Jones can lead the offense as effectively as a healthy Tagovailoa. But he does have a big arm, he can push the football downfield to the Dolphins' speedy playmakers on the edge and he adds elements of size, sturdiness and scrambling capability that Tagovailoa simply can't match. Jones is likely to be available at a more than reasonable price, perhaps even a pro-rated league minimum deal or a little bit above that, for the remainder of 2024. As such, the Dolphins brass should already be on the line ringing the 27-year-old signal caller ahead of his impending free agency.

What’s under the tree? A Canucks holiday wish-listLas Vegas quarterback Gardner Minshew is out for the season due to a broken collarbone, head coach Antonio Pierce confirmed on Monday, leaving the Raiders with a short week to determine their starter. Minshew suffered the injury when he was sacked and landed on his left shoulder late in the fourth quarter of Las Vegas' 29-19 home loss to the Denver Broncos. Former starter Aidan O'Connell, who was sidelined by a thumb injury in Week 7, could return off injured reserve in time for the Raiders (2-9) to face the two-time reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs (10-1) on Friday in Kansas City. "We'll see if Aidan is good to go," Pierce said. "He's been ramping up." O'Connell entered the 21-day practice window on Monday as the Raiders determine when to activate him. "Seeing him able to grip the ball comfortable, hopefully, no pain there, and just being able to be efficient," Pierce said. "To put a player out there that's hurting or injured still, that's not to the benefit of the player or our team." O'Connell, 26, has played in four games this season, starting two (both losses). He is 52 of 82 (63.4 percent) for 455 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. As a rookie last season, O'Connell started 10 of 11 games, going 5-5, and completed 213 of 343 passes (62.1 percent) for 2,218 yards, 12 TDs and seven interceptions. The Raiders selected O'Connell in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. "Obviously at the quarterback position, you've got to be smart," Pierce said. "I think with Aidan, his future's much brighter looking ahead. ... I'll have to really rely on our doctors and medical staff." Desmond Ridder replaced Minshew and went 5 of 10 for 64 yards. Ridder, 25, has appeared in three games this season for Las Vegas and is 16 of 26 (61.5 percent) for 138 yards and one TD. Ridder played the previous two seasons for the Atlanta Falcons, who selected him in the third round of the 2022 draft. For his career, he is 338 of 529 (63.9 percent) for 3,682 yards, 15 TDs and 12 interceptions in 22 games (17 starts, 8-9 record). Minshew, 28, completed 25 of 42 passes for 230 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Broncos. He finished his first season with the Raiders with 2,013 yards, nine TDs and 10 picks on 66.3 percent passing. He joined the Raiders in free agency after stints in Jacksonville (2019-20), Philadelphia (2021-22) and Indianapolis (2023) and won the starting job in camp. But he was benched multiple times for O'Connell as the Raiders struggled as a team. --Field Level MediaTiger Woods 'disappointed' as he makes PGA Tour career announcement after injury woes
