Or will he just go after every dollar he thinks he can get?
And if no agreement can be reached, does he realize how a quarterback franchise affects the opportunity to sign others?
Daniel Jones needs to see the big picture in giants negotiations - (

Mediocre the DJ fan club won’t understand why he’s not surrounded by all pro’s at every position

This is his best chance to get a huge deal. He probably correctly surmises he isn't likely to replicate last season. This is it. He's not concerned about the team's finances, he just wants bank. I don't blame him. Strike while the iron is hot. All that said, I'm leaning tag. Then take the training wheels off next season and open up the playbook. See if he's really 'dat dude'. I suspect everything comes back down to earth next season.
IF he's not going to replicate last season, then what the fuck is anyone paying him $45M for?
No one is paying him $45 million. But the only chance that somebody actually would is if he actually asks for it. Which it costs him precisely zero to do.
Daniel Jones has a degree in economics. The people who know him say that if he wasn't playing football, he'd be working on Wall Street. He understands, apparently better that 99% of fans, that many factors influence his market value, and his statistical performance in 2022 has relatively little to do with it.
If you want to be mad at someone, maybe be mad at Schoen, who made it clear right out of the gate that Jones would be the team's starter next season, one way or another, and if they couldn't agree on a deal, they would just tag him. Once Jones knew the team meant to exercise every advantage it had to keep him on the roster and playing for the salary they preferred, it only made sense for him to swing for the fences with his opening ask, and use every bit of leverage he had to eventually arrive at the highest compromise point possible.
Personally, I still think this deal gets done with enough time to spare that it allows the Giants to tag Barkley.
Especially when he’s getting knocked on his ass and losing games. Yes it matters.
My expectation as well
GMs like Joe Schoen should go and try to build the best roster they can while negotiating smart contracts with each NFL player, and make it fit within the salary cap. That is their role.
And GMs like Dave Gettleman should be put out to pasture. That is their role.
Make this shit stop already. Jones should get every cent.
Will probably never happen, but, IMO it would be fairer.
Exactly! Like it or not, QB's are expensive. That's the way it is in today's NFL.
Does your industry have an enforced maximum of how much the individual companies can spend?

Do you worry if your high salary takes away from the rest of the company?

You mean a budget? Lol yes.
People tend to not care about salaries because if they work hard and increase profits overall it means more money for everyone. The NFL is fixed no matter how much the league makes it is pre-determined and that makes is a fairly large difference here
^ Lol. I guess It depends your line of work…but that made me chuckle. Tell that to one of the many tech, engineering , media advertising recent layoffs.
I understand the external body thing, but i think it’s splitting hairs. I guess my My overall point in saying that is it’s not your job to worry about how everyone else is getting paid and how your higher salary could effect the bottom line down the road (layoffs, cuts, reorgs). It’s no different for Jones. He hires agents to get the best deal. he lets JS worry about the rest. An NFL career could be gone in a flash. And we’ll still be here jamming on the keyboards like nothings changed.
Awesome take here. I agree with DefenseWins!! Best comment of the year so far!!!!!
