What are the New York Giants doing at quarterback: sign a new playmaker or sign on with Daniel Jones?
The 25-year-old played his best season for the Giants in 2022, but is still not undisputed in the “Big Apple”. His contract is expiring, so he would be a free agent in March.
Change of consultants at Jones
Now, shortly before a possible contract extension, the quarterback has apparently made a personal decision in his own environment. According to the “ESPN” report, Jones has changed his advisors.
Accordingly, Jones changes from the consulting agency “CAA” to “Athletes First”. This upcoming move could also be related to a possible long-term contract with the Giants.
New York Giants convinced by Daniel Jones
Apparently, the Giants are convinced of Jones and his potential. According to “ESPN” he should sign a long-term and lucrative contract that should bring him around 35 million dollars a year.
That would catapult him into the top ten in the league in terms of salary. A conclusion should take place before the official start of the new season in mid-March. In addition to a possible long-term contract, it does not seem impossible that Jones will play under the franchise tag in the coming season.
Jones completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns, had just five interceptions, and was in the top ten in the league with his quarterback rating. He also rushed for 708 yards and seven more touchdowns.
Jones’ positive development under Coach Daboll
He was an important building block for the Giants to reach the playoffs after five years with double-digit losses. His positive development could not be overlooked under head coach Brian Daboll.
However, his problems, which became particularly evident again in the clear defeat in the divisional round against the Philadelphia Eagles, once again drew critics onto the scene who did not see Jones as the long-term solution for the G-Men.
