I could see the Cowboys picking him up.
A lot of speculation that the Giants may try to bring in Deion and Shadeur.
“Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way. His handling of this situation yesterday exemplifies just that”
Where I used to work we called that a “shit filled twinkie”
They’ll still beat the Buccaneers this Sunday. Tampa Bay’s sports gods are displeased, not just with the Bucs but with Pinellas screwing over the Rays.
Hope he can land elsewhere and have a chance to resurrect his career like Baker Mayfield has done.
Sometimes a guy who is considered a “bust” just needs to find a change of scenery and get away from a team that is a dumpster fire.
They Giants specifically wanted Brian Daboll as coach because he worked with Josh Allen in his early years, and figured Daniel Jones was similar.
Jones has the same body and maybe even somewhat similar skill set to Josh Allen, but Josh Allen just seems to make better decisions, knows when to gamble, and is better than Jones at getting out of trouble in the pocket. These are real “intangibles.”
They only drafted the guy because he had the same private instructor in college as the Manning brothers. If I was an NFL GM I’d never draft a QB at the top of the first round. It’s a roll of the dice (more so than any other position), and with the stupid salary cap rules in place these young QB aren’t given enough time to develop. You’re better off signing a free agent from another team who has already put in the time to learn the position under his rookie contract.
Not shocking if you understand contracts- they were going to cut him at the end of the year and they were not going to play him the rest of the season.
Had they played him and he sustained a serious injury, they would’ve been on the hook for more than $23 million in 2025.
Mind as well cut tie now and get the inevitable over with.
“Shocking”? If he falls down the steps tomorrow they would have to pay him $23 million (”injury guarantee”). No brainer. Fire Daboll and start over.
The owner of the Giants is the problem. He fires the former GM, then won’t let the new one get rid of Jones to draft his own QB.
Is this correct? My understanding is that when veteran players are released, the contract is terminated and they become unrestricted free agents and can negotiate with any team without having to clear waivers.
Wow. Outright released him with six - seven games to go? There must be something going on here behind the scenes. I would think they would keep him for injury insurance if nothing else.
