Although the Giants&#8217; record and Jones&#8217; play were key factors in the move, ownership and general manager Joe Schoen also had to consider that there is a $23 million injury guarantee in his contract for 2025 that becomes fully guaranteed if he gets injured and is unable to pass a physical in the offseason.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Picks<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Giants are not the first team to sit a quarterback to protect themselves against a substantial injury guarantee.

At that point, the wheels were in motion to make a quarterback change.<\/p>\n<p>But there have been signs in previous weeks that the Giants would eventually head in this direction. They openly looked for a quarterback at the top of this year&#8217;s draft and also pulled Jones in a 28-3 Week 7 loss to the <a data-clubhouse-guid=\"d1a9b001-1df7-fbd7-ae4c-6ca7065286ec\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/phi\/philadelphia-eagles\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> four weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>DeVito won three straight games last year as a surprise starter following injuries to Jones and <a data-player-guid=\"93cc8c92-8d08-5c88-80eb-a0b20a7621d7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/14163\/tyrod-taylor\">Tyrod Taylor<\/a>. He was the third-string quarterback for every game this season behind Lock.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has struggled ever since winning a playoff game after the 2022 season and signing his deal in March 2023, with the Giants going 3-13 in his 16 starts over the past two seasons. He has 10 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions, including two costly picks deep in Carolina territory during New York&#8217;s 20-17 overtime loss in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Jones, 27, has thrown two touchdown passes and four interceptions in his past five games. He also failed to connect with open wide receivers on a flea-flicker against the Panthers, sending Daboll into a visible tizzy. He went down the sideline yelling and with his arms flailing in disgust.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants, who are 32nd in the NFL in scoring at 15.6 points per game, are in line for one of the top picks in next year&#8217;s draft, which presumably will go toward a quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on from Jones is as big an indictment on Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen as it is on the quarterback. They signed him to the eye-opening deal with Jones coming off the best season of his career in 2022 and used the franchise tag on running back <a data-player-guid=\"94486c18-dd3e-6081-a3fe-4a26b71ddcdc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/3929630\/saquon-barkley\">Saquon Barkley<\/a>, who is now thriving with the rival Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>Jones threw 15 touchdown passes and just six interceptions while finishing sixth in QBR during the career year in 2022. He also was close to flawless in a playoff win over the <a data-clubhouse-guid=\"3db556c9-ed76-a7a5-4ccb-a92fc6db4334\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/min\/minnesota-vikings\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the Giants haven&#8217;t been able to get Jones back to playing at that level, partly due to injuries and an inoperable offensive line last season. Jones missed games in 2023 with a neck injury and torn ACL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/42463777\/sources-giants-bench-qb-daniel-jones-turn-tommy-devito\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Raanan, ESPN Staff WriterNov 18, 2024, 08:17 AM ET Close Jordan Raanan is a reporter for NFL Nation at ESPN.
