The 2023 offseason will be very important for the New York Giants. They will have to work on Daniel Jones' contract and they won't have it easy as the quarterback has reportedly requested to be paid as much as Patrick Mahomes.
The New York Giants have two big problems to solve. Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley will hit the free agency this year, so the NFC East team must work very quickly to see what will they do with both players.
It is true that after Eli Manning's departure, the Giants struggled to have a solid quarterback, but it seems like they have found one in Daniel Jones. Unfortunately, he has a contract request in order to continue that may not be suitable for the team.
Daniel Jones asks the Giants to give him a salary similar to Patrick Mahomes'
The free agency will have a huge impact on the Giants this year. They found a good quarterback-running back duo in Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, but they end their contract in 2023 and both could leave New York soon.
Regarding their quarterback, it seems like they are not reaching any agreement with him. Jones has requested to be paid $45 million per year, the same as Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to Pro Football Talk, the Giants rejected Daniel Jones' petition and they are set to receive the non-exclusive franchise tag. This would cost the NFC East squad $32.416 million for the 2023 season.
If they move on with this decision, the Giants would put their efforts on Saquon Barkley's deal. They can only give the franchise tag to one of them and it seems like Daniel Jones is their selection.
