Giants are going to take a big cap hit but they might be able to move DJ for a mid to late round pick in the offseason. He is still an NFL calliber player unlike Zach.
Past the NFL trade deadline. I believe if there was a trade, that Jones would not be eligible to be on the PO roster. But, NYG would have had to retain as Jones was due like $2 mill per week. No team taking on that much cap hit for him for the final 7 weeks of the season.
His release, he can sign for the vet minimum or just take the time off to figure out his future. He's made $108 mill in 6 years. Need to be a pro bowl level player at other positions to ever make that kind of money in a career.
Smart of Giants to just move on. Very small chance he gets hurt in a practice and then you're on the hook for another $23 mill of injury guarantee for 2025. Just eat the $22 mill in dead cap and move on.
