Cut/Released: Giants are releasing Daniel Jones

Bit surprising. I guess Darnold got a bit hobbled last game and they want some insurance? Also, KOC is a good coach.

I would have guessed one of the bad teams with no QB, but I suppose he was just cut from one of those teams.

Dang. Would have loved to have him behind Lamar.

r/the_Darnold is gonna have a field day with this

With McCarthy a raw rookie on IR, and the backups being Mullen and Rypien, I guess this move makes sense.

Dabbol is a good OC so not sure how much more KOC can do with him, though the roster in Minny is better than in NYG (though they are now without Darrisaw their LT since that game vs Rams).

But, good for Jones to be around a good team to see how that is. Still think he ends up signing as a backup with one of the good teams vs sign to be a bridge guy on a bad club. He's made $108 mill, so best to step back a bit and work on the game to hopefully have more years in the league vs get $10 mill to start on a bad team.

He wasn't interested in signing with a bad team

His salary was guaranteed. So no reason to put on more bad film on a bad team.

He’s more likely to sign a a a backup on a good team vs be a bridge QB for a team still looking for a QB.
