Giants Release Quarterback Daniel Jones

The New York Giants have released quarterback Daniel Jones at his request following a disappointing six-season tenure marked by struggles, resulting in a 2-8 record this season. After being benched in favor of Tommy DeVito, Jones expressed gratitude towards the Giants organization, acknowledging his responsibility for the team's lack of success and stating, 'I take full responsibility for my part in not bringing more wins.' His farewell statement highlighted his appreciation for the opportunity to play for the team and the relationships formed during his time there. The Giants' decision to bench Jones was influenced by concerns over a $23 million injury guarantee in his contract, leading to his demotion to a third-string role. While Jones is free to sign with any team after clearing waivers, he has not confirmed his departure from the Giants before the season ends. This transition marks a significant shift as the team looks toward the future without their former first-round pick.
