Daniel Jones

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Giants are expected to replace Daniel Jones with Tommy DeVito as their starting quarterback.

It was only a matter of time before the Giants officially pulled the plug on Jones, who has a $23 million injury guarantee the team would have to pay out next season if he were to be injured and unable to play. Head coach Brian Daboll appeared to have “fixed” Jones when he first arrived on the scene in 2022. That season, Jones threw for a career best 3205-15-5 while adding another 120-708-7 on the ground. He led the Giants to a 9-6-1 record that season and a playoff berth — their first since 2016. Jones was signed to a four-year, $160 million contract the following offseason, but it’s all been downhill from there. Jones has reverted back to his old ways, throwing for 2979-10-13 in his last 16 starts while going 3-13 as the starter. The Giants simply couldn’t allow this to continue moving forward, and will now give DeVito, a second-year UDFA who threw for 1101-8-3 as a rookie, the first crack at replacing Jones, bypassing Drew Lock, who was QB2 on the depth chart. The Giants have had the bye week to prepare for the switch, and will now return to the practice field this week to prep for Week 12’s game against the Buccaneers.
