The Giants continue to take their sweet time with Daniel Jones‘ fifth-year option. But it sounds like a decision will be made — if not necessarily announced — hours before the NFL draft.
The braintrust will meet with ownership Thursday and make the call, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini. The Giants have until Monday, May 2 to pick up the quarterback’s option. If they pass, Jones will become a free agent after this season.
The fact the Giants are still deliberating at this late stage is further proof they almost assuredly won’t pick up Jones’ option.
