### Daniel Jones to Test Free Agency as Cowboys Eye Current Roster

Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is set to explore the open market, but a move to the Dallas Cowboys appears unlikely. The Giants are expected to release Jones on Friday, and he is predicted to clear waivers, making him a free agent eligible to join any NFL team.

Speculation about Jones' next destination includes Dallas. However, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy dismissed the idea during a Friday press conference. When questioned about potentially adding Jones to a quarterback lineup that includes Cooper Rush and Trey Lance, McCarthy was clear in his stance.

"I've never really been in the business of looking at players based on the team they are released from," McCarthy said. "He was a prospect I really liked coming out, but we kind of have our head down right now and are really focused on working with the guys we have here," he added, according to Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com.

The Cowboys' potential decision on Jones comes ahead of their Thanksgiving game against the Giants. This makes the timing significant, yet McCarthy’s comments suggest that the team is prioritizing continuity over new acquisitions.

As Jones enters free agency, teams will likely view him in two distinct ways: some may see him as a candidate for immediate play, while others might consider him a strong upgrade for a backup role. The coming week is expected to shed more light on which teams are interested in the quarterback and what kind of market lies ahead for him.
