Last year, Daniel Jones convinced the New York Giants to give him a lucrative contract extension. A few months later, the quarterback has not proven he was worthy of it, prompting the club to send him a subtle warning about his job.
During the 2023 offseason, the Giants had two paths to choose from. The first was to extend Daniel Jones’ contract, while the other secured running back Saquon Barkley for more seasons.
Against all odds, the Giants preferred the first path, parting ways with Saquon Barkley this year. However, now the running back is thriving outside New York, while the team is struggling with Daniel Jones as their starting QB.
