The Philadelphia Eagles are the self-proclaimed Quarterback Factory but they're not expected to add former New York Giants QB Daniel Jones to their roster.

The following comes from an article posted by NFL insider Adam Schefter on Saturday evening (bold emphasis mine):

Now Jones and the Giants have expedited their divorce, freeing the quarterback to find a new home next week. One team unlikely to pursue Jones right now is the Eagles, who already signed former Giants running back Saquon Barkley.

Schefter adds that Jones is aiming to sign as a backup with a contender as opposed to being a starter on a bad team.

Jones, who was officially waived Saturday by the Giants, is expected to have multiple options but likely will prefer to finish this season on a playoff contending team, where he will be involved in big games, rather than going to a meandering quarterback-needy team not remotely in playoff contention, according to sources.

It'll be interesting to see what Jones lands. Anyone have any guesses? I could see the Minnesota Vikings make sense as a hedge on Sam Darnold and a potential upgrade on QB2 Nick Mullens. Jones might be more inspiring than Kyler Murray's backup, Clayton Tune? We'll see.

The Eagles reasonably could've been interested in Jones since Kenny Pickett hasn't looked good in practice or game action. But they seem intent on sticking with him as QB2, perhaps in part due to his familiarity with the system at this point. They also still have Tanner McKee as QB3.

BGN readers weren't excited about the idea of the Eagles adding Jones, even though it was acknowledged Jones might be an upgrade on Pickett:
