**NFL Fans Urge Cowboys to Sign Daniel Jones After Giants Release**

In an unexpected twist, NFL fans have expressed a strong desire for the Dallas Cowboys to sign quarterback Daniel Jones following his recent release from the New York Giants. Their hope is to inject some excitement into the upcoming Thanksgiving Day game between the two rivals.

The matchup, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on Thanksgiving, typically garners huge viewership. Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III suggested on social media platform X that the Cowboys could pull off a humorous and dramatic move by signing Jones. Barstool Sports' Big Cat echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones has the power to make Thanksgiving football entertaining by signing the former Giants quarterback.

FanDuel Sportsbook added to the buzz with a nostalgic video of Tom Brady throwing a touchdown to Randy Moss, suggesting a similarly dynamic pairing of Jones with Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. ESPN's Benjamin Solak also chimed in, pleading with the universe for the Cowboys to set up a Thanksgiving showdown featuring Daniel Jones against his former team.

Currently, the Giants are struggling with a 2-8 record, led by quarterback Tommy DeVito, while the Cowboys sit at 3-7, under the stewardship of backup quarterback Cooper Rush. Both teams have a game this Sunday before their anticipated Thanksgiving clash.

The Cowboys, who began the season with high hopes, have been significantly let down, especially after their starting quarterback Dak Prescott was sidelined with a severe hamstring injury, ruling him out until 2025. Despite this setback, the Cowboys have stuck with Cooper Rush, even though his performance has been average and they have another option in former No. 3 pick Trey Lance.

While there's a possibility that the Cowboys might consider Jones, the likelihood of him becoming the starting quarterback in less than a week is slim. Additionally, there might be an unwritten agreement between Jones and the Giants preventing him from joining a rival within the same season.

The Giants' decision to release Jones came after benching him and relegating him to fourth-string quarterback. This move was partly influenced by a $23 million injury clause in his contract, which made playing him in non-critical games financially impractical.

Giants owner John Mara stated that Daniel Jones requested his release, and both parties agreed it was the best course of action. Mara praised Jones for his professionalism and representation of the team, expressing disappointment over how things had unfolded.

Whether or not the Cowboys will heed the fans' call remains to be seen, but the mere possibility has added an intriguing subplot to this year's Thanksgiving game.
