In a surprising and unusual move, the New York Giants cut their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones, mid-season. Jones had been with the team for several seasons, but his tenure was marred by injuries, coaching changes, and inconsistent play. The team announced on November 18, 2024, that Jones would be benched in favor of third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito, effectively ending his time as the Giants’ starting quarterback.
On November 22, 2024, in a twist, Jones requested to be released, and the Giants honored his request. The team issued a statement from President John Mara, expressing appreciation for Jones’ professionalism and leadership, stating that releasing him was a mutual decision that would benefit both parties. Mara also highlighted that Jones had represented the organization well, and the decision to part ways was not easy.
As for Jones’ next move, ESPN reports that the two most likely teams for him to sign with are the Baltimore Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings. Both are playoff contenders, so Jones would likely be joining as a backup quarterback.
Regarding his contract, Jones was on a massive deal with the Giants, which likely includes significant financial terms. Despite being cut, he could still earn a sizable amount depending on where he signs next and the terms of his potential new contract.
