Giants Bench Quarterback Daniel Jones, Start Tommy DeVito

The New York Giants have benched quarterback Daniel Jones, opting to start third-stringer Tommy DeVito in the upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This decision comes after a disappointing season that has left the Giants with a 2-8 record, and Jones has faced criticism for his inconsistent performance and injuries. The financial implications of Jones' contract, specifically a $23 million injury guarantee for 2025, have likely influenced this move as the team aims to manage their salary cap for the future. DeVito, who has had previous starting experience, is expected to take the reins as the Giants look to improve their league-worst scoring offense, averaging just 15.6 points per game. General manager Joe Schoen insists that the decision is rooted in football strategy rather than financial concerns, but the future of the franchise quarterback remains uncertain. As the Giants prepare for the rest of the season, the question looms over whether this marks the end of the Daniel Jones era in New York.
