Daniel Jones isn’t big on change. Especially not if something is working.

So when he had an opportunity to switch jersey numbers to 17, the number he wore in college that became available when the Giants waived Kyle Lauletta, he declined.

“I’ll just stick with 8,” he said. “I’m not really too tempted. I like 8. Eight’s been good.”

Besides, there’s plenty of other upheavals in his football life this week.
