Giants benched Daniel Jones [Update: Giants released Daniel Jones at his request] [Daniel Jones signs with Vikings]

I thought the contract was a huge overpay, but Jones is very much a viable starter. The team collectively sucks. Jones has nearly 15K yards in his time at the giants and is actually number 5 on their all-time career yards list. Career 64% completion percentage and a 2:1 td to int ratio. IMHO he's a top 20 QB.


Unfortunately, he's gonna have to go play for another basement dweller, probably Vegas if I had to guess.

Unless he decided to go be a backup on a competitive team, but asking to be released tells me he wants to be a starter.
