Colts QB Jones Not Traded: What it Means for Vikings
10 Nov
Summary
- Daniel Jones will remain with the Indianapolis Colts.
- The Vikings traded away J.J. McCarthy earlier this fall.
- Carson Wentz will start at quarterback for the Vikings.
The Minnesota Vikings, currently 6-1, are facing the Buffalo Bills on Monday night with Carson Wentz starting at quarterback. However, much of the focus remains on the upcoming NFL trade deadline. The Vikings had already traded J.J. McCarthy earlier this fall.
Amidst speculation, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones was rumored to be a target for Minnesota. Jones, who signed a significant deal with Indianapolis after previously being with the Vikings, has had a challenging 2026 season. Reports indicated the Colts were fielding calls on Jones and Jonathan Taylor.
However, Indianapolis has officially informed Daniel Jones that he will not be traded before Tuesday's deadline, despite their recent loss to the Cowboys. This decision comes after local and national insiders began casting doubt on a reunion with the Vikings.
The Vikings' quarterback future remains uncertain, especially if Carson Wentz struggles against the Bills. If the offense falters, Minnesota might reconsider their options before the deadline, potentially looking beyond promises made to players like Jones or Kirk Cousins.
