The Giants coaching staff had been evaluating Jones and his struggles throughout 2024 and have decided to go with DeVito.
The decision is also believed to have been influenced by the $23 million guarantee in the quarterback’s contract for next season, which would allow him to pick up his checks in the case of a long-term injury.
