The New York Giants have benched Daniel Jones, successfully ending his profession with the group and they don’t plan to place him again on the sector beneath any circumstances.
Head coach Brian Daboll introduced the transfer on Monday which included the elevation of Tommy DeVito from No. 3 emergency quarterback to the beginning function and the announcement that Dew Lock would proceed as the first backup.
On Tuesday, the group signed veteran backup Tim Boyle to the follow squad. It’s assumed that Boyle will now change into the Giants’ No. 3 and/or emergency quarterback going ahead.
That results in the query: What do they do with Jones?
Dan Duggan of The Athletic may need the reply — ship him residence as there is no such thing as a upside in retaining him round.
The very best factor for all concerned is for Daniel Jones to depart the Giants now. They’re clearly utterly finished with him, so there’s no level in having him present up each day for seven weeks and undergo the motions.
It’s what Raiders and Derek Carr did in the same scenario in 2022 (granted that was just for two weeks). Jones can concentrate on getting ready for his future, whereas the Giants can restrict potential distractions and remove any damage threat.
The Raiders despatched Derek Carr packing early with a “non-injury-related, private” designation. The Giants might comply with swimsuit.
To be clear, Jones would nonetheless be on the group. He would simply not be bodily current. He nonetheless will get paid his full wage and counts in direction of the wage cap.
It’s a quiet technique to sundown him with dignity and sophistication. Let’s hope the Giants can get no less than this a part of Jones’ profession proper.
