Daniel Jones

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' contract will be one of the most curious cases of the 2023 NFL offseason. Jones is throwing to one of the worst groups in ...

Jones is still young (he'll be 26 in May), so there's time to figure him out. 0 Rec TD TD Here's a look at Jones' stats by season. But if a team swoops in with, say, a four-year offer of $100 million, the Giants could find themselves outbid. The real question is if he'll have enough clout in negotiations to push for an extension that rivals the second or third tiers. Will the Giants' 9-7-1 record be a springboard or a plateau? [FD lineup](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/fantasy/news/giants-eagles-fanduel-picks-nfl-dfs-lineup-advice-playoff-single-game-contests/muahcsbflqtcmcvrklbabjwt) [DK lineup](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/fantasy/news/giants-eagles-draftkings-picks-nfl-dfs-lineup-advice-playoff-showdown-tournaments/a1fumnjdj1smpggcohlef03g) Jones has been effective in the running game all year, but Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have leveraged that effectiveness better as the season has gone on. He capitalized with 78 rushing yards (4.6 yards per carry).

Revisiting Jones' 40-yard time, a reminder that draft combine results don't always translate to NFL success...or failure.

Employing a series of designed run plays that accentuate both Jones' and Saquon Barkley's skillset, Daboll have turned New York — once so reliant on the pass — into a run-first team. Perhaps a few scrambles here and there to keep the defense off balance. However, it doesn't hold a candle to the blazing times put up by Michael Vick (4.33s), Lamar Jackson (4.34s), Robert Griffin III (4.41s) or Justin Fields (4.46s). But when he was clocked for his 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, the reading wasn't particularly pretty. Jones is one of the league's most dangerous dual-threat QBs. He showcased some decent wheels in addition to a precise arm, racking up 17 rushing touchdowns in three seasons at Duke. Daniel Jones Jones made big strides as a thrower this year, bumping his competition percentage to 67.2% while dropping his interception rate to a league-low 1.1%. Daniel Jones rushing stats He takes pride in his ability to tuck it and run, using his 6-foot-5 frame to evade pressure. But just how fast is the 25-year-old? And how does he compare to some of the league's other track stars who happen to throw the ball for a living?

Daniel Jones might want to add some LASIK eye surgery to his list of offseason activities. Jones briefly exited his New York Giants' NFC Divisional Round ...

The Giants ended up punting on the possession after failing to gain a first down. He came back in for the next play, which was a short pass. Jones’ Giants had the ball 20 seconds into the second quarter at their 9-yard line.

To pull off a monumental upset over the No. 1 seed Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night, the New York Giants needed to have all hands on deck.

No, no, his contact lens fell out – you know, the ones that help you see – and he needed a moment to put it back in his eye.

He took plenty of hits and had to display some of his trademark toughness along the way. He'll make the short trip from New York down to Philadelphia this Saturday, where he'll play in the biggest game of his life to date against the No. In his first career playoff game last week against the Vikings, Jones was nothing short of outstanding. In his first three NFL seasons, the Giants went 4-12, 6-10 and 4-13 with him at the helm. Fans were quick to bestow upon him the nickname "Danny Dimes," although some now prefer "Vanilla Vick" in a nod to his improving rushing ability. But by the end of his senior season, scouts from around NFL had taken a keen interest in Jones. Jones went on to have a successful three-year career in Durham, leading the program to back-to-back bowl wins for the first time ever. While his peers were touring the country showcasing their arm talent to college coaches and scouts, Jones had his in a cast. "I sent him the link and he just about fell off his chair when he looked at the highlights." Starter Thomas Sirk went down with a ruptured Achilles, opening the door for Jones to take over the starting job. “I watched maybe a quarter and a half, and I picked up the phone and said, ‘You’re right,’” Cutcliffe told the Chronicle. But the kid was tough, and he could play.

And what I did, I turned around and grinned, ’cause it was exactly the response I wanted to get. Remember that he was the one who found Riley Leonard, and he’s working out pretty well at Duke too. I’m not gonna tell you what I said, but it was pretty brutal, OK?

The Giants shocked a lot of people by going 9-7-1 and then beating the Vikings in the playoffs. A long-term contract will make Jones less expensive in 2023 and give New York a better chance to keep other free agents (like Barkley) as well as going out to find better receivers and offensive linemen on the market. Only nine quarterbacks in the NFL are set to make more than that next season and though Jones led the NFL with the lowest rate of interceptions (1.1%), he was only 28th in his rate of touchdowns (3.2%). Can the Giants justify paying Jones the potential $30 to $35 million salary for a quarterback who has thrown 36 combined touchdowns over the last three seasons; five fewer than what NFL leader Patrick Mahomes had in 2022 alone, only one more than Joe Burrow and former Daboll mentee Allen’s season totals. At the end of the regular season, a new contract for Daniel Jones seemed inevitable. Had the Giants season ended there, perhaps the franchise would stay the course with quarterback Daniel Jones, because by most accounts the team was finally trending in the right direction after almost a decade of ineptitude.

Saturday night's first quarter interception to ex-teammate and Eagles corner James Bradberry, however, conjured flashbacks of the old Jones entering his free ...

Daniel Jones just made himself a ton of money. How many times did you hear that over the past few weeks?

The Minnesota defense was dreadful enough to guarantee the firing of its coordinator, and to virtually guarantee that the 6-foot-5 Jones would look like a combination of Cam Newton and John Elway. Diaz wasn’t chasing his nine-figure contract as much as he was chasing redemption and a shot at a ring, and the same goes for Jones. And then reality hit the Giants hard from the blind side at the Linc on Saturday night, and they watched their dream season burst like that water pipe in their Philly hotel. If the Giants are forced to overpay Jones, they should accept that result with a smile. It wouldn’t have mattered if Eli Manning were out there behind center, instead of sitting in a suite and getting booed by his favorite crowd when he was shown on the video board. As it played out, after Jones delivered an historic performance against the Vikings in his playoff debut, there was too much about his big, fat payday to come.

But that doesn't mean coach Brian Daboll, whose arrival seemingly marked a turning point in Jones' career, is convinced the former first-round pick will be ...

But as Brian Daboll said, there’s no denying the team can be proud of what they have done. Saquon Barkley led the team in rushing with 65 yards on nine carries, but he wasn’t able to get to the board as well.

The fact that Daboll is the clubhouse leader for Coach of the Year is the more obvious story, and justifiably so. Daboll of course worked with Allen as the Bills’ offensive coordinator before he got the Giants job; his ability to turn Allen from wild stallion to fully-developed professional quarterback is a primary reason he got that gig in the first place. I think it’s a credit to [Eagles Defensive Coordinator Jonathan Gannon] and the coaches.” In the end, Jones completed 15 of 27 passes for 135 yards, no touchdowns, an interception, five sacks, and a passer rating 53.8. On the two plays before that, Jones had taken a Fletcher Cox sack, and thrown incomplete to receiver Darius Slayton. Daboll was already down 28-7, so if there was a play in his quiver here that could have extended the game, he certainly would have used it.

Daniel Jones dodged questions about his future in New York as the Giants quarterback is set to enter free agency.

Perhaps he has reason to believe the team wants to go in a different direction. The Giants chose not to pick up the fifth-year option on Jones’ rookie contract, though they could still use the franchise tag. The Giants never seemed to stand a chance as they fell 38-7 to their division rivals.

Head Coach Brian Daboll and several players spoke to the media Saturday following the loss to the Eagles.

And we didn't get it done." We will figure out where that goes, but I have nothing but love and respect for this organization and the group of guys in the locker room." Jones: "I think the future of the team is bright. We have a special group of guys in that locker room and that was a special thing to be a part of.

There is a time and place to have all those conversations and tonight is not it." We just didn't get it done." Daboll: "Yeah, I think there is a time and place for that, too.

Jones and Barkley are the two most important free agents the Giants have this off-season.

Thus it would behoove the Giants to get Jones done first and then work on Barkley's deal so that they are not choking their salary cap once free agency begins in mid-March. The Giants can apply the franchise tag to one of the two if negotiations stall. Regarding Jones, the Giants could also opt for the transition tag, which would cost them $30.402 million. Whether that means he'll stay with the team to continue his upward trend is another story. But the team's surprising play, which carried them to the divisional round of the playoffs, changed that. I grew and improved throughout the year, and I will continue to try and do that.” The Giants reportedly had preliminary discussions with Barkley's representatives during the bye week in what was believed to be a feeling-out process. "That's outside of my control wanted to show the Giants that the guy they drafted is still here. I think there are some things I’ll go back and look to clean up, improve, and grow as a player. "Sometime this week, I'll have a conversation with my agent Kim (Miale) and see what's up." I thought I was consistent throughout the year.

The only thing standing between Jones and the backup quarterback derby outside New York is a fear of the unknown. As exciting as the 2022 season was for the Giants faithful, the New York metropolitan area’s lowered expectations for 2022 will eventually return to sea level. In 2022, Jones and Saquon Barkley remained off of the IR long enough to showcase what they could accomplish together, but only the latter should be considered part of their long-term blueprint. New York’s tow truck offense was spearheaded by Saquon Barkley and the stream of dump-offs he received from Jones. That white flag was a far cry from Joe Judge [putting the season in a compactor](https://twitter.com/PeteHaileyNBCS/status/1480253845297111043?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1480253845297111043%7Ctwgr%5E74e3183d1390e0dd65a69c67a62fbe7b96d6de0c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcsports.com%2Fwashington%2Ffootball-team%2Fjoe-judge-explains-giants-bizarre-qb-sneak-third-and-9-vs-washington) and calling quarterback sneaks on 3rd and long in Week 18 a year ago, but it revealed what Daboll really thinks about Jones. Philadelphia’s pass rush, which recorded the third-most sacks in NFL history, spaghettified the Giants’ offensive line and planted Jones in the turf five times.

Daniel Jones has been cryptic about whether he wants to be a Giant for life. Here is what he said as the Giants packed up their lockers for the long ...

That would be the scenario I anticipate happening. I remember visiting with him at his podium and asking him if he had meetings set up with the Giants. And not all of those teams will be able to draft a blue-chip prospect. At the same time, Jones is coming off one consistently solid season under head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka. Before I give my thoughts, I'm reminded of one of my first encounters with Jones at the 2019 scouting combine. There's a business side to it too, so very grateful to be here and be a part of it.

Daniel Jones is set to become a free agent in the offseason. Here are three ways the New York Giants can approach his next contract.

If a desperate team did offer Jones a deal under this tag, the Giants would have the right to either match the deal or let him go in exchange for two first-round picks. Time will tell what will happen, but the one thing we can say for sure is that Jones will be paid handsomely this offseason. The non-exclusive tag isn’t used very often since it does permit players on the tag to negotiate with other teams, allowing Jones to potentially test the waters and see if another team is willing to blow the Giants out of the water. This contract makes sense since it offers Jones a higher salary but provides the team an out if he doesn’t continue to develop like he did in 2022. Letting Jones get to free agency is a tremendous risk since a ton of teams will be in the market for a new quarterback. A good comparison could be Kirk Cousins, who is a quarterback in the same class as Jones and will earn $36 million in 2023.
