With OTAs in the books and only mandatory mini-camp remaining in the New York Giants offseason program, let’s open the Big Blue View Mailbag and see what questions we can answer.
Jeff Bergman asks: - On the contract options, it seems everything I see written suggests that if the Giants keep Jones, the choices are a long-term deal or the franchise tag. Is there a middle ground with “fair” starter money with a short term “prove it” element? (Not all NBA players get a max deal) Are there any examples you can think of where a QB got something with guaranteed starter money in year one with options that let the team get out if he was not the guy and the player compensated like a starter if he performs?
