The way during which the New York Giants are treating quarterback Daniel Jones lately is just unjust — and unprofessional.
Jones was ousted from his beginning place this week in favor of third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito and is now listed because the workforce’s fourth quarterback.
The Giants are dry-docking Jones on their roster behind DeVito, Drew Lock (who can also be being mistreated), and newly-signed Tim Boyle not solely due to his underperformance however for monetary causes.
Jones has a $23 million harm clause that may kick in ought to he get injured. The Giants are doing all the pieces they’ll to maintain him off the sphere for the remainder of the season.
As we acknowledged on Wednesday, what’s the objective of preserving him round? To humiliate him? They need to do what the Las Vegas Raiders did two years in the past with Derek Carr and ship him residence.
As a substitute, Jones is doing the entire issues he would usually do reminiscent of attending conferences and collaborating in apply. He’s doing this with the data that he won’t ever take one other snap in a New York Giants uniform once more.
Is that this any strategy to deal with a participant who bore the brunt of the huge mismanagement the previous six years?
It doesn’t matter what you consider Jones, he deserves higher.
“Daniel’s been a professional,” head coach Brian Daboll mentioned on Wednesday. “He’s been a very good teammate for us. Once more, that is the position that he has proper now for us and I’m glad he’s a part of our workforce.
“He’ll be out right here working. We’ve had, once more, non-public conferences. Not the simplest factor, and I perceive that, however he’ll be out right here, and he’ll be working.”
Certain. Daboll mentioned the workforce makes its personnel selections on Fridays. We’ll see the place Jones, who isn’t anticipated to be lively nor be listed because the workforce’s emergency quarterback this Sunday, finally ends up.
