Daniel Jones has been the center of criticism for what feels like forever, including this preseason. A teammate now passionately jumps to his side.
Daniel Jones gets it regularly.
The fact that he got a whopping $160 million for four years or $40 million per season when he extended his contract with the New York Giants after the 2022 season still bothers him.
Since then there have been discussions about whether it shows enough performance for the money. 2023 was a difficult season, also because his cruciate ligament was torn. In fact, the 2023 O line was one of the worst the league had to offer.
However, Jones also played below average. That is why 2024 is considered a crucial year for the controversial player. The player has a lot to listen to on the way through the preseason.
Gardner makes headlines with false proposal
Recently, Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner made headlines when he was asked about Jones and had trouble giving a compliment.
This prompted Giants catcher Darius Slayton into action. He jumped passionately to his quarterback’s side.
“I don’t know what his intentions were,” Slayton said of Gardner. “But whatever it was, whatever. It’s easy to say negative things when there’s a negative narrative around someone. But that doesn’t always happen – well, in this case, that doesn’t make it true. He doesn’t see it every day at all.”
Slayton stressed that part of the problem is the amount of attention the Giants get, whether it’s from prime-time games or being in the nation’s largest media market.
And Slayton also talked about the generous salary. “The thing about money is that quarterbacks get paid so much,” Slayton said, citing Derek Carr of the New Orleans Saints as an example. He’s a good quarterback, Slayton said: “Derek Carr could do something bad three weeks in a row and you wouldn’t hear anything about it. I don’t even know what he did this rehearsal. I don’t know if it was good or bad this preseason played badly But DJ is on Good Morning Football It’s not the same.
