It is. This is exactly the situation.

How much do you think Indy would pay him to compete with Richardson?  $15M a year over 2 years?  How much would the Vikings be offering?  Probably like $12M over one? Like which one gets you a better shot at getting to be a long term starter and big money?  I feel like theres some hope there with KOC as your coach that you probably don’t get with Indy.  Indy you’re sliding into the long term backup path probably, but with the Vikings you’re probably not seeing the field.

Maybe KOC will give Dimes a nice diploma with his name on it as a graduate that he can put on his LinkedIn profile for FA 2026 and show teams. [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/c1/3c/2ec13cbfae9c0491294b068997a61428.gif[/img]

I have no clue why Jones would want to sign in Minnesota considering he can make a lot more in Indy, Cleveland, etc. and legitimately fight for a starting spot. There's no competition with the Vikings, its McCarthy's job despite any coachspeak.

The question is, how much is enough? Jones made $25mm on his 4-year rookie deal. He signed for another $160mm on his extension with the Giants, of which $92mm was guaranteed ($81mm guaranteed at signing).  So lots at play here, but he's already financially comfortable. I am going out on a limb here and suggest that he thinks the supporting cast in Minnesota is better for his long-term development as well as being one injury (to JJM) away from being a starter on the field.  He can afford to take the long view.

It could be the very reason why he's pondering Minnesota, in fact it has to be. Why else? He'll most assuredly make more money elsewhere this season. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it seems odd that he'd consider the Vikings UNLESS the reasons you mention. I still think the odds are against it (him signing with the Vikings).
