New York Giants Release Quarterback Daniel Jones

The New York Giants have officially released quarterback Daniel Jones, marking the end of his tumultuous tenure with the team after six seasons. This decision follows a series of struggles, including being benched in favor of third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito, and comes despite Jones recently signing a substantial four-year, $160 million contract. Giants president John Mara described the parting as a mutual decision, appreciating Jones's professionalism throughout the situation. The move will leave the Giants with over $20 million in dead money, a financial consequence of the contract extension given to Jones last year. As Jones hits waivers, it is unlikely any team will take on his remaining contract, although potential future landing spots include the Tennessee Titans or Las Vegas Raiders. The release has sparked mixed reactions among fans, many of whom express disappointment and nostalgia for what Jones brought to the franchise.
