Giants granting QB Daniel Jones' request to move on

The New York Giants are granting Daniel Jones' request to be released, the team announced Friday.

Giants president John Mara said the sides mutually agreed that it "would be best for him and for the team" to move on.

"Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way," Mara said in a statement. "His handling of this situation yesterday exemplifies just that. We are all disappointed in how things have worked out."

Jones would have to go through waivers, though it is unlikely a team would pick up rest of the four-year, $160 million contract he signed in March 2023.
