Daniel Jones has a big decision to make after being released by the New York Giants earlier this week.
The quarterback should clear waivers by 4pm Monday, leaving him free to sign with another team and officially draw a line under his New York nightmare.
And according to multiple reports on Sunday, Baltimore Ravens are lining up a move for Jones with the 27-year-old identified as a backup for Lamar Jackson as the franchise looks to bolster its Super Bowl aspirations.
Another option is the San Francisco 49ers, who are without starting quarterback Brock Purdy this weekend due to a shoulder issue.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan was coy over Purdy’s long-term prognosis and hinted he could miss more than Sunday’s game against Green Bay Packers.
According to ESPN, the Minnesota Vikings are also in the running, where Jones could back Sam Darnold up. The Vikings are 8-2 for the season even though their first choice QB J.J. McCarthy was ruled out for the season before it began with a knee injury.
Several teams in the NFL are interested in adding Daniel Jones to their roster

Another fascinating option, as reported by Ian Rapoport, is Las Vegas Raiders.
A team in transition and 2-8 for the season at present, they are not the Super Bowl candidates that Jones is believed to prefer as he decides his next move.
But big things are expected of the Raiders from next season onwards and with Gardner Minshew struggling this year, a change at signal caller is widely anticipated.
By signing Jones for the remaining games, the 27-year-old would have a chance for an early audition with an eye on next season.
Furthermore, Jones will be watching the action unfold this weekend from the comfort of his own home knowing that one injury could change the course of his decision.
Bizarrely, Jones was also listed on the Dallas Cowboys website as a quarterback just minutes after his release from the Giants was announced on Friday.
The page soon disappeared but it would have been a fascinating switch given the Cowboys face the Giants on Thanksgiving.
Jones is almost certain to clear waivers because any team that claims him before then would owe him $11.83 million left on his contract, plus the $23 million injury guaranteed for next season.
The Giants, meanwhile, host Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with Tommy DeVito their starting quarterback.
