Should Minnesota keep Sam Darnold? |Flock
The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Chicago Bears 30-12, clinching a playoff spot with a 12-2 record. Colin Cowherd talks about Sam Darnold's impending free agency and whether the Vikings should keep him as QB.
Daniel Jones may no longer be with the New York Giants, but that didn't stop him from getting into the Christmas spirit with his former teammates.
According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, Jones, who is currently on the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad, sent bottles of limited-edition Clase Azul tequila to the entire Giants' offense for Christmas.
Jones, 27, was benched after the Giants' bye week but asked to be released so he could sign with a contender for the remainder of the season.

Jones is beloved by his New York Giants teammates, and when Jones was released, many took to social media to express support for the former quarterback.
Shortly after, the Vikings signed Jones to their practice squad, giving Jones a chance to develop under head coach Kevin O'Connell.
It's common for NFL quarterbacks to buy Christmas presents for offensive linemen to thank them for blocking.

However, it's not common for quarterbacks to buy gifts for former teammates after joining a new team.
Since releasing Jones, the Giants have started Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock at quarterback.

The Giants are 2-12 with each loss moving them closer to the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft, where they hope to select their next franchise quarterback.
The Vikings are doing much better under Jones. The Detroit Lions and Vikings are both 12-2 and looking to not only win the NFC North, but also secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
