The Giants appear to be moving on from Jones
The New York Giants are benching starting quarterback Daniel Jones, per a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
The move to bench Jones was pretty widely expected over the bye week. Not only is Jones coming off of a poor performance against the Carolina Panthers, but he had already been benched for the fourth quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The bye week following the trip to Munich is a natural break point to make such a significant change.

Last seven games will have an impact on the team’s future
The New York Giants get back to work this week, playing out the string of a lost 2-8 season, something that has become a far-too-familiar occurrence in East Rutherford, N.J. Here are six things to watch the rest of the way.
It isn’t a matter of “if” the Giants choose to replace Daniel Jones in the starting lineup, but “when”. That may come as soon as this week when the Giants host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium.
We may not find that out until...

Does anyone want to play for the New York Giants these days?
I’m sure there are a few, but based on just about every player who leaves — either by their own volition or the team’s — seems to believe they’re better off.
The Giants recently released cornerback Nick McCloud in a curious move that turned out to be cap-related. He was scooped up by the San Francisco 49ers this week and placed on their practice squad.
McCloud was a key contributor on defense and special teams but injuries have forced the Giants to shuffle their roster and McCloud, who...

For all intents and purposes, the New York Giants’ 2024 season is over. As they (and everyone else) enjoy their bye week, there’s not much to look forward to when they come back next week to play their final seven games.
The 2-8 Giants held the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft entering Week 10 (now No. 5). According to TeamRankings.com, they are predicted to finish with a 4-13 record and have a 0 percent chance at qualifying for the postseason.
The Giants are the only team with a 0 percent chance of making the playoffs.

The New York Giants (2-8) are thankfully on a be this week and have plenty of time now to do several things. One of those is to heal up and get healthier. The other is to figure out what they want to accomplish during the final seven games.
The biggest question is whether to continue putting embattled quarterback Daniel Jones under center. That decision will be made this week.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll has claimed Jones gives them their best chance to win, something they haven’t done since October 6. However, several positives to benching Jones are not performance-based....

Your open thread for Sunday Night Football
The Los Angeles Chargers will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football.
The Chargers (6-3) are solidly in the playoff picture as a wildcard team, while the Bengals are just on the outside looking in after a disappointing first half of the season. Jim Harbaugh has quickly put his stamp on the Chargers in his first years as their head coach, winning with efficient quarterback play, enough offensive production, and very good defensive play.
The Bengals, meanwhile, have one of the worst defenses in the NFL balanced by one of the...

Assessing the decisions, and whether moving on from Jones was feasible earlier
The Daniel Jones’ era as New York Giants franchise quarterback is over. Whether it ends officially this week with Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito announced as the starter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, a few weeks from now or in the offseason the time has come for the Giants to take another swing at finding the top-tier franchise quarterback teams need in today’s NFL.
As we concluded our position-by-position bye week look at the state of the Giants’ roster, let’s discuss the decisions by GM...

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was a hot topic at the NFL trade deadline but general manager Joe Schoen opted to keep him in East Rutherford.
That has been a theme for Slayton over the past several years, often finding himself as the center of trade attention and contract speculation.
This past offseason, Slayton briefly held out while seeking a long-term offer before finally settling on a modified one-year deal with added incentives. He bet on himself, much like running back Saquon Barkley did a year prior, and now it appears to be paying off.
Slayton has 32...

Here are some inside perspectives on Schoen’s three-year body of work
In our bye week series of position reviews, we have focused largely on the three-year body of work compiled by New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen. To get other perspectives on Schoen’s decisions, I surveyed a handful of former NFL executives and some current national media members.
I received responses from three, and those are detailed below. They provide interesting, varied perspectives on Schoen’s work.
Jeff Diamond was general manager of the Minnesota Vikings from 1991-1998 and President of the Tennessee Titans from 1999-2004. He was named...
