It now appears that the Daniel Jones era for the New York Giants is over.
Earlier this week, Jones was officially benched. he went from the starter to the fourth string quarterback, which is quite the drop.
Now, it seems that Daniel Jones will be leaving the G-Men altogether. He went to the office of the management and apparently requested that the organization release him.
As of right now, I am not entirely certain what he has in his store for his future. Maybe he will be picked up by another NFL franchise. Perhaps he even still has a promising future ahead of him. As I understand it, it was not for lack of effort that things did not work out for him with Big Blue. One thing that I kept hearing about him was that he had a very strong work ethic and approached the job seriously.
Of course, I am admittedly not a big fan of all of the huge money contracts in sports these days. Jones got one of those huge contracts, and even by those standards, it sometimes felt puzzling why the Giants would reward him with such an enormous contract. It hardly seemed as if there were tons of teams seriously attempting to steal Jones away, or anything.
Anyway, I digress.
Jones, to his credit, seemed like a class act. His tenure as quarterback had some ups and downs. Probably more downs than ups, admittedly, but he showed some glimpses of real talent, especially when leading the Giants to the playoffs two years ago. They finished with a record of 9-7-1 under Jones, and then beat the third-seeded Vikings on the road in Minnesota. That's not nothing, and I for one am appreciative of that as a fan.
So here's wishing Jones well in his future endeavors.
And let's hope that Big Blue can finally get past all of the issues that have been holding them back now for something like a decade and change, now.
