We’ve seen a lot of talk regarding Daniel Jones over the past few weeks and things aren’t going to slow down until he’s either tagged or signs a multi-year deal with the NY Giants. Well, it appears one of those things will happen, and it’s not the outcome the young QB was hoping for.
Mike Florio reported that Jones was eyeing something in the $45 million a year range, but both sides remain far apart on a figure they can both agree to.
ESPN reporter Dianna Russini provided an update and it appears Jones will be tagged.
“Based on the conversations I’ve had it seems like this is headed towards the franchise tag,” Russini said. “This thing is too spread out in terms of the money they are willing to pay Daniel Jones and what Daniel Jones’ camp is looking for.
“On the New York side of this, they are set on a certain number they think Daniel Jones is worth, and that’s nowhere near what Jones’ camp believes.”
It would cost the Giants $32 million fully guaranteed for the 2023 season to franchise Jones.
His dual-threat abilities make him a key weapon for this offense.
