The New York Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones have mutually decided to part ways on November 22nd, 2024.
Daniel Jones had put in a request to be released from the Giants after he had been demoted to to be the third string quarterback. Jones, who was a 6th pick in the first round of the NFL draft out of Duke, had a total of 14,582 passing yards, 70 touchdowns, and 47 interceptions, all with the New York Giants.
Jones ended his tenure with the Giants this season by putting up 2,070 passing yards, 8 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. The Giants have promoted hometown hero Tommy Devito to be starter. The Giants had named Devito starter before releasing Jones. Devito last season had shown the fans a glimpse of what he can do on the field.
Jones was in the second year of a 160 million dollar contract he had signed last season, right after leading the Giants to a playoff victory in the 2022 playoffs against the Minnesota Vikings.
