Well, what's the lowest we could sign Jones for a comp pick? Plus, he'd probably start most of the remainder of the year. So, it's not like he'd be a backup necessarily. He'd play out the season and move on.
The Cowboys signing him does not really matter for that formula. What would matter for the purposes of getting a comp pick is what he signed for after leaving, assuming he leaves after this year. Also it would require the Cowboys to lose more free agents than they sign.

With the news about Daniel Jones being released today, Jerry has an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. Daniel Jones is going to have the rest of his salary paid by the Giants. We play the Giants on Thanksgiving. We could sign Daniel Jones for vet minimum for the rest of the year, and we can start him against his old team on Thanksgiving.

Besides, let's be honest, Rush or Lance vs DeVito? Yawwwwwn. Jones against his old team? Oh yeah!!! And, if he signs elsewhere after the season, we would get the comp pick for it. It's a win win.
I would approve this. I think Jones can play. NY sucks. Look at Sam Darnold. That guy could always play. Just needed a chance and a non-psychotic organization.

Yeah but jerry wants to lose, so he doesnt need or want another qb , especially if they are good.

Well it would be a splash signing.
A very Jerry thing to do.

Well, we never sign FAs anyway

Right now he would have to clear waivers since it is after the trade deadline. We are currently 9th on the waiver wire. Yes, that team would have to pick up the remainder of his base salary, but for this year it was only $1,080,000, so that is about $450,000. They could then cut him with no cap issues after the season if they wanted to.

Not saying a team will do this, but here is the 8 in front of us. There are a couple teams in there who may want to roll the dice and give him a cheap look.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars, 2-9
2. Tennessee Titans, 2-8
3. New York Giants, 2-8
4. Las Vegas Raiders, 2-8
5. New England Patriots, 3-8
6. New York Jets, 3-8
7. Cleveland Browns, 3-8
8. Carolina Panthers, 3-7
9. Dallas Cowboys, 3-7

Here is the link to the full current waiver wire order and rules (in case someone wants to see it):

You can ruleout Giants,LOL.
jags , titans probably in full revamp mode, but Raiders could go for him
