The New York Giants have “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract of quarterback Daniel Jones, less than two years after he signed a $160m extension with the NFL franchise.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jones, a first-round draft pick in 2019, lost his place as the Giants’ starting quarterback earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The Giants have won just two of their 10 games this season and have lost their past five.<\/p>\n

“Daniel came to see me this morning and asked if we would release him,” Giants president John Mara said. <\/p>\n

“We mutually agreed that would be best for him and for the team. Daniel has been a great representative of our organisation, first class in every way. His handling of this situation yesterday exemplifies just that. <\/p>\n

“We are all disappointed in how things have worked out. We hold Daniel in high regard and have a great appreciation for him. We wish him nothing but the best in the future.”<\/p>\n

Coach Brian Daboll announced that former undrafted free agent Tommy DeVito had been promoted to starting quarterback on Monday.<\/p>\n

Jones, 27, joined the Giants in 2019 and was rewarded with a $160m, four-year contract in 2023 – two years of which were guaranteed.<\/p>\n

At the time it made him one of the top-10 best-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.<\/p>\n

He is ranked 32nd among all qualified quarterbacks in passer rating this season and has seven interceptions and just eight touchdowns in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
