The NFL franchise tag deadline is March 7, juts five days away. That means time is beginning to run short for the New York Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones to reach a long-term deal that would prevent the Giants from tagging the quarterback to keep him off the free agent market.
“You’re starting to feel the time crunch a little bit,” Giants general manager Joe Schoen said Thursday morning on NFL Network. “I wish we were a little bit closer on a deal than what we are right now. But again, there’s still time.”
GM Joe Schoen has been clear that Jones will be the starting quarterback for the Giants in 2023.
