Sun Sep 15 12:12:13 UTC 2024: ## Giants Might Consider QB Change Amidst Jones Struggles
The New York Giants may be facing a difficult decision regarding their quarterback, Daniel Jones, as his performance continues to falter. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the looming $23 million injury guarantee for Jones next season could incentivize the team to explore other options.
Schefter points to recent examples of teams benching quarterbacks to avoid triggering injury guarantees, including Russell Wilson with the Denver Broncos and Jimmy Garoppolo with the Las Vegas Raiders. While the Giants are not at that point yet, Jones’ underwhelming performance, highlighted by just two touchdown passes in his last eight games, is raising concerns. His recent 22-of-42 performance for 186 yards and two interceptions in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings further fueled these concerns.
If the Giants choose to make a change, backup quarterback Drew Lock would be the next in line. Lock, acquired in the offseason, has limited starting experience but showed promise in his four appearances this year. Another potential option is undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito, who stepped in for Jones last season, leading the team to a 3-1 record.
A demotion for Jones would signify a significant shift in the Giants’ quarterback plans, likely leading to a major overhaul of the position in the offseason. The coming weeks will be crucial for Jones to prove his worth and avoid a potential change in leadership for the Giants.
