More than three weeks ago, the Giants declined quarterback Daniel Jones’s fifth-year option of his rookie contract. Jones, who will now begin the final year of his contract in the 2022 season, would have received $22,384,000 in the ’23 campaign.
Jones spoke to reporters on Friday about the franchise’s decision, blatantly saying that he had an “it is what it is” mentality about the contract situation and that it was a decision that was “out of his hands.”
Instead of worrying about his current contract, Jones is focused on putting together a successful season in 2022, which could lead to him getting a new contract with the team or taking his talents elsewhere.
