Daniel Jones Takes Responsibility Amid Giants' QB Controversy

TL;DR Summary
Daniel Jones acknowledged that the injury guarantee in his contract was a factor in the New York Giants' decision to bench him in favor of Tommy DeVito. Jones' four-year, $160 million contract includes a $23 million injury guarantee for 2025, which the Giants aimed to avoid by demoting him, thus reducing the risk of having to pay that amount if he were injured. This move also aligns with potential financial strategies, as cutting Jones after this season could save the team around $19 million in 2025.
