INDIANAPOLIS — Joe Schoen had no doubt, he said, that Daniel Jones would be the New York Giants’ quarterback in 2023.
The Giants general manager was “cautiously optimistic” last Tuesday at the scouting combine that “productive conversations” would prompt a deal to materialize for the 2019 sixth overall draft pick, whose fifth-year option the Giants previously declined.
Because sure, the Giants could assign their quarterback a franchise tag before 4 p.m. ET this Tuesday to ensure his 2023 rights or the equivalent of two first-round draft selections.
