Per multiple sources Jones receives his 3.2M roster bonus today.
This bonus was always fully guaranteed, and factored into his cap hit. The only thing to note is this makes the unlikely chance of him being traded, a virtual impossibility as it would have basically no positive cap implication for the Giants.
If he were traded before today it would have been about a 4.2M savings. If he’s traded now it will be less than 1M in savings.
I think he's gonna need it.
A team looking for an upgrade at the backup quarterback position, and the opportunity to buy low and see. Jones at a 4.2M cap hit is a fine value as a backup.
The New York Giants are presumably starting him, so he’s a viable backup.
I think he's gonna need it.
No idea what his future is as a starter. But he's most likely got years of at least backup money to look forward to.

I think when all is said and done, Jones settles into a career as a spot starter, super-sub like Bridgewater and Winston.
The list of teams here…
He hasn't had a line that can block, a RB that can create anything and receivers that can't get open...
And moron coaches.
I think he's going to have a big year. Let's see how well this post ages :)
I think he's gonna need it.
And I think you have no idea what a career as a long term backup NFL QB is like. He’ll retire a very wealthy man and one with a future as a coach as a possibility.

Right, we all should have the amount of money Glennon made.
(1) It was very unlikely that Jones would be traded this year.
(2) It is very unlikely that Jones is a Giant next year.
As far as his future with other teams, a lot will depend on his health even if he plays well this year. He's had significant head and neck injuries.

Bad QBs make their OL, their skill position players, and their coaches all look bad.
What's more likely: that a zero-star recruit who walked on for a doormat football program and has generally been at or below median production for his entire football career including college is actually part of the mediocrity, or that somehow this incredibly talented player has slipped through the cracks of talent evaluation at every level of football from high school on?
Is it more likely that DJ was held back by the roster built by the same person who also chose him, or that DJ is also one of the mediocre selections by that GM?
Occam's razor suggests that DJ is part of the problem.

It s a sign of the times I suppose.
I get being ready to move on from a player, I do that all the time, not there yet with Daniel. But have trouble understanding the ridicule you see sometimes here

Can you point to the hate exhibited towards Jones on this thread?

Just about every Draft Expert ad Jones as a 1st round draft pick. You may not think he was the #6 overall pick but he was a 1st round talent by many. He was better than Haskins and Drew Lock who most thought were ranked higher. Maybe he cant elevate the talent around him, we wouldnt know that yet, he hasnt had any talent to work with. When QBs are under pressure they fail more often than not.
Look at the stats under Shurmur who knows how to run an O, he was showing good positive signs. Under Judge/Garrett te O was a joke and you can see how it fell off a cliff when DJ went out. He may never be a star but he has a chance to be successful in a good QB friendly offensive system. Not many QBs could have been successful under the situation from the last 2 years.

I don’t see any hate, why would you ask me that?
But I didn’t see any of that on this particular post? I read the poster as referring to DJ hate in general
Why you making a deal about this? Certainly you understand many here have ridiculed him as a quarterback.
Not saying his play hasn’t warranted it or that they should stop. I simply said I don’t relate to it.
I m one of the few excited for his chance to step up this year. I participate in almost every Jones thread, I should probably revisit that tendency.
To me it indicates an element of sensitivity. I think we can all agree no one is expressing any hate for Jones on this thread (yet :)
My favorite off-the-field part of the game is the financial and resource part of the game. It’s a puzzle I find fascinating and tangible.
There are plenty of threads to beat up opinions of love and hate. This was just a thread to discuss a financial topic and its implications.
I agree. But I have no problem admitting I do not like watching Jones play football. If the QB play is bad in the NFL, it makes the viewing experience dreadful. And that's Jones right now.
Sure, his surrounding cast has not been ideal, but he has really done nothing to demonstrate he has the force multiplier gene that the position requires in today's game.
I hope DJ morphs into Mahomes this season, but I'm not expecting it.

Totally agree. He's more than capable, but not good enough when really gameplanned against.
He wouldn't even sniff the top 10.

The comment about him saving his money was the original post that took me down that path. My apologies
It s all good. I enjoy the banter with his critics

Except the "under pressure" part is a fallacy. The OL was bad, no doubt about that, but bad OL play is common in today's NFL. The OL had some very visible and complete breakdowns, without question - and some of those jailbreak pass rushes were among the worst in the league. But those breakdowns were worse in terms of severity, not frequency or rapidness.
DJ's average time to throw last season was closer to the middle of the pack than the bottom. His percentage of hurries, pressures, hits, and sacks were also closer to the middle of the pack than the bottom. He wasn't blitzed with any less frequency than the league at large, as some have posited. Other QBs within the same range as DJ in terms of OL metrics produced far better results in 2021.
What that suggests is that DJ is a slow-reading QB right now, and it doesn't take much to disrupt him. He isn't facing more pressure than the average NFL QB. The pressure that he does face isn't coming more quickly than it does for the average QB. DJ's average pocket time in 2021 was 2.5 seconds, which is higher than Josh Allen (2.4), Justin Herbert (2.4), Patrick Mahomes (2.4), Aaron Rodgers (2.3), Tom Brady (2.3).
But I'm willing to bet that, in order for DJ to read the field and process what he sees, it takes him longer than the one or two tenths of a second advantage he's getting compared to the top QBs in the game. They read the field and process information faster than DJ, so they don't need nearly as much time in the pocket to begin with. And when DJ does face pressure, he's obviously disrupted by it. And it does affect his game. And that is a reason for his poor performance.
But he bears a lot of responsibility for that himself, by not being elite in his mental processing skills.

DJ actually graded out “better under pressure” according to PFF. Yeah PFF I know but regardless, IMO I’m throwing out anything this team and any player on it did the last two years. Let’s see what they do with a half decent roster and coaches that can actually coach…
Ironically at the time BW and GT were both okay with him as the potential pick. But overall he wasn't wanted here, and outside of 4 games in parts of 3 seasons he hasn't played well enough to change that opinion
Yep.

what makes you think all or any of those problems have been fixed?
Um I don't know... maybe TWO top 7 first round picks on the offensive line? Or the fact that Toney, Golladay and Barkley are all healthy and practicing, or maybe we got a competent coach finally, or maybe in his fourth season (like Eli) the lights will come on and the game will slow down for DJ.
If you can't admit this is some reason for hope, you're just a hater.

I agree, something feels different this time around. With a ton of money to spend the next two years, a competent GM to spend it and some young guys to build around I’m optimistic
Jones fans NEVER have any recent evidence of good play to point to. it’s all hopes and dreams of what the guy who looks like their fantasy QB could become if surrounded by 10 Hall of Famers.
this god awful Jones era (error), launched by the same guy who drafted and signed Jones’ accomplices in ineptitude, mercifully ends this season.
do i hate Daniel Jones? no, i just hate watching him play for the Giants because he fucking sucks, makes horrendous decisions with the ball in his hands, and the owner of our team thinks he knows better than actual football evaluators, which is the main reason why Jones still has a chance to start and prolong our misery. if the Giants haven’t been good to Jones bc they didn’t surround him with enough talent (LOL!), what does that say about how good they’ve been to the fans? 10 years of eating shit feels like enough.
should put a stop-hold on that $3.2M check...
