Giants Face Criticism Over Daniel Jones Demotion

The New York Giants are facing internal and external criticism for benching quarterback Daniel Jones and demoting him to third string, opting instead for Tommy DeVito as the starter. This decision, perceived as financially motivated, has caused discontent among players, including All-Pro defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence, who publicly expressed his disagreement and support for Jones, calling him the best quarterback on the team. Jones, who signed a significant contract last year, has been relegated to playing safety during practice, further highlighting the drastic fall in his status within the team. Despite the criticism, head coach Brian Daboll insists the decision was made in the team's best interest, although he acknowledges the lack of consensus within the locker room. Meanwhile, speculation about Jones' future and potential replacements, such as Shedeur Sanders, is circulating as the Giants prepare for potential major changes. Players maintain a sense of camaraderie, but the overall situation reflects broader issues within the organization.
