Danny Dimes for the comp pick. We'll see if he hangs around Eagan for longer.
Thats the 1/2 million $ question for sure...
I have no idea what his intentions were other than to soak-up some qb whisperer waters.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Jones and KOC stayed close and in touch since the draft process. If I had to guess, I think the plan is tag and trade and bring in Jones to compete on a one year deal. Just my thought. Same thing they did with Darnold. Jones would benefit from staying here and going this route.

I mean that's exactly what he's doing. Go to a place for a year that isn't a dumpster fire, learn how to be a QB, resurrect your career. Last thing you want to do is go to the Raiders and compete against whichever shitty rookie they end up drafting, and get stuck on the backup QB treadmill.

Be interesting if Mullens stays at # 2 This will probably be Mullens last season with the Vikings.
I'd keep both of them if the price for both is low enough. He'd probably want to be the unquestioned backup though?
It's Kwesi's move for the comp pick. Darnold is a much better QB than Jones. If Kwesi has his way, Darnold will be here next year, but Jones won't. He's here for the comp pick.

Local sports news tried to make this an intriguing, big deal...
Yawn

How about a gadget play with both Darnold and Jones lined up in the backfield?
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

This is how I see it too.
