EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Just days after joining the New York Giants as a free agent, quarterback Drew Lock is clearing the air about his decision to leave Seattle and move to the East Coast.
Contrary to what Seahawks general manager John Schneider expressed, Lock said the Giants did not offer the 27-year-old the chance to compete with Daniel Jones for the starting job. Nor does he see this as an opportunity to have a big year and cash in like Baker Mayfield did by signing a $100 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“Daniel Jones is the starter of this team,” Lock said Friday.
