Overview

  • After being waived by the Giants one year into his four-year, $160 million contract, Jones spent six weeks with the Vikings before inking a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts.
  • Richardson aggravated the AC joint in his surgically repaired shoulder and is resting through minicamp, enabling Jones to run first-team reps.
  • In minicamp drills Jones earned praise from coaches and insiders for his quick processing at the line and strong chemistry with receivers.
  • Coaches project a direct competition in Indianapolis’s training camp to decide the Week 1 starting quarterback.
  • Meanwhile the Giants turn to Russell Wilson and rookie Jaxson Dart and the Vikings have committed to J.J. McCarthy as their quarterback of the future.
