Who knew Daniel Jones signing a new contract would garner so many reactions? Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Giants and while he has his supporters, his critics include several NFL players.
Bears safety Jaquan Brisker did not think Jones was worthy of his new deal that reportedly includes $82 million guaranteed. He called him trash.
Giants wideout Darius Slayton responded by tweeting the score of the Giants’ win over the Bears last season.
He prompted Dolphins perennial Pro Bowl receiver Tyreek Hill to chime in, saying that the Giants’ slant route “gone be crazy next year” with several laugh emojis.

Gaudy contracts likely began with Deshaun Watson’s record-setting contract that included $230 million guaranteed. Watson’s contract has surely motivated Lamar Jackson and his current contract demands. He has since been tagged.
Jones has joined the list of quarterbacks who have an average annual value of $40 million, a list that also includes Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, and Dak Prescott.
Many would argue he does not belong on this list, but you’re worth whatever somebody decides to pay you. Jones was worth it to the Giants.
