CNN  

CNN — Daniel Jones’ time with the Giants in the Big Apple is over. According to New York Giants President John Mara, Jones asked to be released from the team on Friday morning, and the two agreed that the split would be the right move for both the club and the previous face of the franchise. We wish him nothing but the best in the future.” On Monday, Giants’ head coach Brian Daboll named Tommy DeVito, somewhat of a cult hero to football fans, as QB No. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, if another NFL team were interested in signing Jones, the new club would be on the hook for the remaining $11,833,333 the quarterback is guaranteed to make in 2024. The Giants drafted Jones out of Duke in 2019, and he was the second quarterback selected in that year’s player draft, along with Kyler Murray, the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma, who went first overall to the Cardinals.
