The Giants will bench him soon and then cut ties with him at the end of the season. The Giants tried to draft his replacement this past offseason but couldn\u2019t move up and decided against selecting the likes of Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy or Bo Nix, all of whom were still on the board when New York picked wide receiver Malik Nabers at No. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Right or wrong, the Giants now have no choice but to draft a quarterback, and at the moment, they are in prime position to do it. At 2-8, New York has a great chance of landing a top-three pick in the 2025 draft.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After a career year and helping the Giants to a playoff appearance and Wild Card Round victory over the Minnesota Vikings in 2022, Jones signed a four-year contract extension worth $160 million.<\/p>\n<div id=\"incontent-ad-1\" class=\"pw-incontent\" data-label=\"Advertisement\"><\/div>\n<p>Daniel Jones lost five of six starts last season before suffering a season-ending ACL tear last year. This season, he\u2019s 2-8 with a 63.3 completion percentage for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions and four fumbles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/OutlawNoah\/status\/1855625214396105092<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Fortunately for the Giants, Jones\u2019 contract is structured in a way that they\u2019ll be able t o cut him in the 2025 offseason with minimal financial ramifications.

He had three forgettable seasons from 2019 to 2021, and yet the Giants wouldn\u2019t give up on him.<\/p>\n<p>He had one decent season in 2022, and that was enough to secure a $160 million extension.
