The New York Giants have announced that they are honoring Daniel Jones’ request for a release. This decision was announced by the franchise on Friday.
Giants president John Mara said both sides agreed it would be “best for him and the team” to part ways.
Honoring an exemplary player
“Daniel was a great representative of our organization, first class in every way,” praised Mara in an official statement. “His handling of the situation yesterday shows exactly that. We are all disappointed with how things turned out.”
Despite the split, Mara emphasized the team’s high regard for Jones and wished him “nothing but the best for the future.”
However, before Jones can find a new team, he must go through the waiver process. However, it is considered unlikely that a team will take on the remainder of his four-year, $160 million contract signed in March 2023. The financial obligations could be too big a hurdle for many teams.
This decision ends an important chapter for the Giants and Daniel Jones, which was marked by both sporting and personal challenges. The NFL world is now looking forward to the quarterback’s next steps.
