He is officially still a New York Giants player. But at the end of his training on Thursday, Daniel Jones bid farewell to the fans during a press conference.
“The opportunity to play for the Giants has truly been a dream come truehe first declared. […] I didn't play well enough to help the team get wins. »
Demoted to the No. 4 quarterback spot, Jones was also tested at different positions during practice, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. He was notably seen playing safety.
Daniel Jones already looking to the future
The quarterback left no doubt about his future.
“I’m excited for my next opportunity. And I know there are still good times ahead of me in football. »
It is therefore a virtual certainty that this new opportunity will not be with the Giants. However, the season is not over and Jones continues to clock in at training. For the moment, he remains evasive about his motivations:

If Daniel Jones finds himself in this unprecedented situation, it is mainly because the Giants want to avoid having to pay his guarantee money in the event of an injury. And despite his interactions with the team and his desperate desire to play, the quarterback should not return to the Giants uniform before the end of the season.
For the moment, no official announcement on a potential departure. But it seems clear that the relationship between the quarterback and the franchise is fully consummated.
