GIANTS QB - DANIEL JONES - RELEASED - NOW WHAT.??? - Hobbit99 - 11-23-2024
As we've all heard, the Giants have 'released' Daniel Jones. Because he's not a vested veteran, he will have to pass through the waiver system. Jones' current contract owes him about 13.8 Mil GUARANTEED. The Giants are on the hook for that contract - UNLESS another team picks him up off of waivers. The general consensus is that Jones will definitely clear waivers on Monday afternoon. With his release, the existing contract will become a "dead cap" hit for the Giants -- AND Jones will be free to sign with any other team he chooses. The question then is ... Which team would sign him (probably a short-term "try-it" deal..). Would ANY team be interested maybe as a backup or possibly a "bridge" QB or a veteran presence..???
Keeping in mind that Jones ia a DUKE alumnus and has significant ties in the area. AND Jones had a fairly productive few years early on. AND Jones has been severely handicapped by the Giants struggles in the last couple of years.....
Would (SHOULD) the Panthers possibly add him as a bridge, backup, or potential replacement for Dalton who is aging out.???
Thoughts.???

A likely playoff team with a questionable back up may pick him up just for the remainder of this season. For next year my guess is that he will be looking for a team with strong qb development that would give him the best chance to become successful.
I would think that the Panthers would consider him. The Rams with an aging Stafford might also be interested. Can't see him wanting to be a Raider.

He needs to be a b/u a year or more. Watch a bit. He may b too far gone. Giants are a wasteland!

Daniel Jones (in my humble opinion) has been atrocious. I'm not sure any team would pick him up, but what do I know? (Sam Darnold)

Hmm...??
= Atrocious?? = Hmm, I'm NOT certain, but as I remember, his first 3-4 years were pretty effective. He's year six right now (I think.??). The past couple of years have been very marginal, but the whole Giants roster has been a pile of donkey-doo. So... there's that.OKAY .. Latest word on the street.
Daniel Jones has signed with the Vikings to backup Sam Darnold -- for the balance of THIS year (I'm guessing..??) Next year (Free Agency) is way, WAY up in the air.
¿Quien sabe?
