Quarterback Daniel Jones released by Giants

The New York Giants have decided to release quarterback Daniel Jones after a disappointing six-year run that only resulted in one playoff appearance. Jones, who was benched and demoted to fourth-string, requested the release from team officials. Giants president John Mara expressed disappointment in the situation but wished Jones the best in the future. Jones, selected sixth overall in the 2019 draft, had a record of 24-45-1 as the team’s leader. He had signed a contract extension after a successful 2022 season but struggled with injuries and performance in subsequent seasons. The 27-year-old quarterback was likely to be cut in the offseason to free up salary cap space for the team. Jones addressed the media, acknowledging the business nature of football and the need for results. The Giants, currently 2-8, are expected to look for a new quarterback in the upcoming draft.Jones’ release marks the end of an era for the Giants and opens up opportunities for both the team and the quarterback in the future.
