Cowboys completed an interview with Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

The process for moving past fired DC Matt Eberflus is in its opening stages. Jones, 47, hasn’t called plays for a defense since his brief stint as LSU defensive coordinator in 2021. He does have plenty of high-level defensive experience and specializes in defensive back play, which makes him a good thought for a Cowboys back seven that figures to have a lot of turnover this offseason.

Jets requested to interview Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Jones now has two defensive coordinator interview requests. Good for him. He is also considered a candidate to replace Vikings DC Brian Flores, if were Flores to leave the Vikings’ organization for another opportunity.

MIN Coaching Staff

Cowboys requested to interview Vikings defensive pass game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

Jones was initially hired by the Vikings to coach only the defensive backs in 2022. They added defensive pass game coordinator to his title in 2023. ESPN’s Kevin Seifert believes Jones “would be on a very short list to replace Brian Flores as the Vikings’ defensive coordinator, if Flores departs.”
Josh Ross

MIN Linebacker #52

Vikings signed LB Josh Ross, WR Dontae Fleming, S Kahlef Hailassie, G Vershon Lee, T Caleb Etienne, WR Joaquin Davis, WR Jeshaun Jones and TE Bryson Nesbit to reserve/futures contracts.

Ross has appeared in 22 NFL games and has 11 tackles, all of them as a special teamer.
Josh Oliver

MIN Tight End #84

Josh Oliver caught both of his targets for 29 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Packers.

Oliver had something close to a full-time role with TJ Hockenson sidelined. He ends the season with 13 receptions for 131 yards and four touchdowns. Oliver is used primarily as a blocker in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. He’s signed through the 2028 season and will return as a critical if underrated part of the team’s offense.
Ty Chandler

MIN Running Back #32

Ty Chandler had ten rushes for 23 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Packers, adding three catches for 11 yards.

Chandler was active for this meaningless Week 18 finale and served as the 1B option behind Jordan Mason, who had 94 yards on 13 rushing attempts. The veteran running back is a free agent and will likely play elsewhere in 2026 unless the Vikings bring him back on a short-term deal.
Jalen Nailor

MIN Wide Receiver #1

Jalen Nailor caught all three of his targets for 49 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Packers.

J.J. McCarthy once again displayed a nice connection with Nailor, who finishes the 2025 season with 395 yards and four touchdowns on 26 receptions as the Vikings’ distant WR3 behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nailor, 26, will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. He could stick with the Vikings after showing a solid connection with McCarthy, who is likely to compete for the starting role in Minnesota in 2026.
Jordan Addison

MIN Wide Receiver #3

Jordan Addison caught 1-of-3 targets for eight yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Packers.

Addison ends a disappointing season in a Minnesota offense plagued by poor quarterback play from start to finish. He had just three games with more than four receptions, functioning as a downfield threat on a team that rarely threw it deep. He had 610 yards and three touchdowns over 13 games as the clear-cut WR2 behind Justin Jefferson, averaging nearly 15 yards per reception thanks to a deep average depth of target. Addison, 23, is headed into his fourth NFL season and could be a candidate for a contract extension over offseason. He had a whopping 19 receiving touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons and could see a big bounce back in 2026 if the Vikings improve their quarterback situation.
Jordan Mason

MIN Running Back #27

Jordan Mason had 14 rushes for 94 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Packers.

Mason functioned as the team’s lead back with Aaron Jones inactive, seeing 14 of the Vikings’ 24 running back carries. It was the second highest rushing yardage total for Mason in 2025. He mostly served as Minnesota’s No. 2 back behind Jones, seeing more than ten touches in six games. He finishes the year with 770 rushing yards and six scores, catching 14 of 16 targets for 51 yards. Mason, 26, is signed through the 2026 season and could be the team’s lead back if Aaron Jones leaves town. Still, Mason’s lack of involvement as a pass catcher will limit his fantasy upside in any scenario.
Justin Jefferson

MIN Wide Receiver #18

Justin Jefferson caught 8-of-11 targets for 101 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 win against the Packers.

Jefferson was 47 yard short of 1,000 receiving yards on the season and eclipsed that marker in the first half with a barrage of targets from J.J. McCarthy before McCarthy left the game with a right hand injury. Plagued by some of the worst quarterbacking in recent NFL memory, Jefferson managed just two touchdowns after ten touchdowns last season without an established starter under center for the Vikings. He had no chemistry whatsoever with McCarthy. Jefferson remains an elite wideout who dominates targets and air yards and will continue to do so in 2026. If he gets some decent quarterback play, Jefferson should bounce back nicely in Kevin O’Connell’s fantasy-friendly offensive scheme.
