New York Giants release Daniel Jones to the bench

Brian Daboll indicated this week that he will take advantage of his week off to evaluate his options at the quarterback position. It looks like his decision has been made. according to John Rapoport from NFL Mediachose the New York Giants put Daniel Jones on the bench.

This decision comes after another complex performance from the quarterback. In Germany and against the Panthers, Daniel Jones threw two shutouts and didn’t stop one of the worst teams in the league. A problem that appears again this season, while Jones is a real burden for his team. After him, the Giants are in last place in the NFC East with a dismal record of 2-8. A more logical conclusion than Jones has injury warranty in his contract. If he was seriously injured and could not start the next season, the New York franchise owes him $23 million. A risk New Yorkers would rather not take.

Now, it’s hard to imagine another team willing to deal the Giants to get Jones. The most likely thing is that the quarterback would be released in the offseason, which would allow “only” $22 million in “dead money” in the finances of the franchise.

Tommy DeVito takes over… Waiting for the Draft?

Let’s take the same ones, and start again! As of 2023, Tommy DeVito will take over from Jones. Unsigned from the University of Illinois, the pitcher was cautious in his first innings. In 9 games played last season, he completed 64% of his passes for 1,101 yards, 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. If at the age of 26 he does not represent a long-term solution to replace Daniel Jones, he should be an intermediary while waiting for the selection of a new quarterback next April. The eyes and hopes of the Giants now turn to the next Draft.
