Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, sources told Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Jones will begin on the Vikings' practice squad, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Cameron Wolfe. Minnesota will pay him $375,000 for the remainder of the season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 27-year-old had multiple options but chose the Vikings because of his relationship with head coach Kevin O'Connell, Schultz adds.

Jones cleared waivers Monday after being released by the Giants last week.

The Duke product is expected to back up Sam Darnold when elevated to the active roster. Minnesota's depth chart also includes Nick Mullens and Brett Rypien.

Jones started 10 games with New York this season, completing 63.3% of his passes for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
