It'll be interesting to see how quickly the Gmen can improve their receiver situation, which is absolutely bottom tier of the NFL right now.

At that point, I'll be on Danny and the coaches to see if he responds as a passer with the improved personnel. Because as of right now, giving Barkley 350 touches a season, flirting with making your $40mil QB a 1k yard rusher, tossing 15 TDs and playing ball control praying that the defense gives you opportunities, is not a long term winning strategy.

Giants granting Daniel Jones' request, will cut QB​

The New York Giants are granting quarterback Daniel Jones' request to be released, the team announced Friday.

Jones met with Giants president and owner John Mara and had multiple conversations with coach Brian Daboll on Friday morning. The two sides mutually agreed that it "would be best for him and for the team" to move on, Mara said in a statement.

Jones wanted to play, and this gives him a chance to latch on with another team before the end of the season.

"Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first-class in every way," Mara said. "His handling of this situation yesterday exemplifies just that. We are all disappointed in how things have worked out."

The move ends Jones' six-season run with the Giants, mostly as the franchise quarterback. He was the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL draft out of Duke. He finishes with a 22-44-1 record and 70 touchdown passes to go along with 47 interceptions.

The Giants (2-8) benched Jones on Monday in favor of Tommy DeVito. Jones said Thursday during his first comments since the benching that he wanted to remain the starter, but the team told him that with its record, it wanted to make a change at this point of the season, regardless of whether he was willing to address his $23 million injury guarantee.

DeVito will make his first start of the season Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. An undrafted rookie last year, DeVito won three games as a starter in 2023, but he had spent this season as the third-stringer behind Jones and Drew Lock.

Jones will go through waivers, though it is unlikely a team would pick up the rest of the four-year, $160 million contract he signed in March 2023. It would cost a claiming team close to $12 million for the remainder of the season.

But Jones is likely to be signed after clearing waivers. He said Thursday, in what was essentially his goodbye news conference, that he was "excited for the next opportunity."

It's looks like the Giants could have finally got their franchise QB:

Former Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart wins big with New York Giants and accomplishes something only 2 QBs have done in Super bowl era​

Jaxson Dart proves once again his dual threat abilities are worthy in NFL record-tying fashion



That may not sound like an impressive feat, but it’s a surprisingly difficult thing to do in the NFL. Take Josh Allen, for instance. He’s one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks of all time, with over 4300 rushing yards and 68 rushing touchdowns. He has logged 50+ rushing yards in three consecutive games just twice in his entire eight-year NFL career.

That’s not the only special thing Dart accomplished on Thursday, either. He also became one of just three rookie QBs to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles since 2016. The only others to do so were Dak Prescott and Jayden Daniels.

Yes, Dart still has a long way to go in developing consistency as an NFL passer, but it’s great to see him making plays with his legs and dropping a few balls into the bread basket deep down field, even if some of his best passes are being dropped. The Giants clearly found a good one in Dart, and that should surprise absolutely no one.
