It's the end of a largely disappointing era. The New York Giants released quarterback Daniel Jones on Friday, granting his request to be cut following his benching this past week. The sixth overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft, Jones was never really what the Giants hoped he'd be when they made him the successor to Eli Manning.
Over six seasons, he threw 70 touchdown passes and 47 interceptions, and his 53 QBR ranks 28th in the NFL since he entered the league. Save for the 2022 season (9-7-1) that got him paid, Jones never posted a winning record in New York and now leaves the Giants as a 28-year-old reclamation project.
