End of the Line? Why the Giants May Finally Move On from QB Daniel Jones

Just a season ago, Daniel Jones seemed poised to lead the New York Giants into a new era, breaking a five-year playoff drought and posting career highs in passing and rushing stats. This success earned him a massive four-year, $160 million contract, placing him among the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks. Yet, what initially looked like a resurgence now appears more like fool’s gold. The Giants’ promising 2022 season gave way to struggles in 2023, with Jones’ performance slipping before a season-ending injury. Despite efforts to improve his support with new talent, Jones’ stats remain among the league’s lowest, leading the Giants to reconsider his role.

With $23 million in guarantees for 2025 still on the table, the Giants face a tough decision: continue with Jones and risk further financial liability or cut ties early to reclaim cap space. His durability is also in question, especially with a depleted offensive line. As the team approaches the 2025 NFL Draft with a possible top pick, Jones’ future in New York looks increasingly uncertain.

Consider the predicament faced by the Phoenix Suns as a prime example. Trailing 3-0 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA playoffs’ first round, Phoenix confronts significant constraints in bolstering their roster. While they retain their own first-round pick for this year, they’ve relinquished all rights to their future first-round picks until 2030. Moreover, their capacity to sign free agents is limited, and they are barred from absorbing salary in trades.
