INDIANAPOLIS, Ind — New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen reiterated on Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Daniel Jones would be the team’s quarterback in 2023.
He said “no” when asked if he had any doubt about that. If a long-term deal isn’t reached by Tuesday, Schoen said he would use the franchise tag to keep the quarterback off the free agent market.
Schoen said he is “cautiously optimistic” about getting deals done with both Jones and running back Saquon Barkley.
“We’re trying to work through it,” Schoen said. “Obviously we’d like to have them both back.
