Daniel Jones has just been released by the Giants after both parties mutually went their separate ways. The man who just got paid after the Giants decided to keep him and part ways with Saquon Barkley. The Giants GM made a huge mistake in keeping Jones and I believe he should be fired for that move. Daniel Jones is still a good quarterback in this league.
He’s big, can scramble, and is pretty smart with the football. The question now becomes which team would want to take on his contract. If no one clears him off waivers he could become a free agent and not take on that massive contract. As I look at the football landscape, my first thought was to team with a quarterback need who has a bad record this year. These teams include the Raiders, Browns, Titans. But these teams are better off drafting a young quarterback in this year’s draft. Or are they?
Daniel Jones just needs the right situation, like a Sam Darnold in Minnesota. Could he go to a playoff team as their backup this year? Not a bad idea since at any time a starter could get hurt and they need somebody formidable to step in and win games. So of the current playoff teams, who could benefit. The team I immediately think of is the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen and Daniel Jones are similar in stature and have the same kind of game. They both scramble when they have to and have strong arms. A backup quarterback is very important in this league, just ask the Chiefs when Chad Henne stepped in and won. I believe this scenario might be a possibility where Daniel Jones could get a fresh start. We will see how it all shakes out, but it’s a story we will be watching in the days to come.
