Giants Bench Quarterback Daniel Jones

The New York Giants have officially benched quarterback Daniel Jones, opting for Tommy DeVito as the new starter following a disappointing 2-8 season. Coach Brian Daboll's decision comes after Jones' poor performance, including two interceptions in a recent loss, and aims to evaluate the team's future, especially given Jones' costly injury guarantee of $23 million for 2025. With DeVito taking over, Jones is likely to serve as an emergency third-string quarterback, as the Giants look to assess their prospects for the remainder of the season. The situation is further complicated by Jones' contract, which would impose significant financial penalties if he were injured while starting. Analysts suggest this move signals the likely end of Jones' tenure with the Giants, as he faces an uncertain future in the offseason. The decision comes at a critical time as the Giants prepare for their upcoming games and potential draft positioning.
