Saquon Barkley Wishes Success for Daniel Jones

Saquon Barkley expressed hope for a successful new chapter for his former teammate Daniel Jones, who was granted his release from the New York Giants after being benched for Tommy DeVito. Barkley, now thriving with the Philadelphia Eagles, noted the challenges Jones faced with the Giants, where the team is struggling at 2-8. He emphasized their ongoing friendship and described Jones as a hardworking individual deserving of a fresh start. Despite Jones's significant four-year, $160 million contract, complications related to his injury led to his release, which was mutually agreed upon by the player and the organization. Giants owner John Mara acknowledged Jones's professionalism and contributions to the team, highlighting the disappointment in how his tenure ended. As Jones heads to waivers, the likelihood of him remaining with a new team is uncertain due to his hefty contract.
