5 winners and 5 losers from the New York Giants’ benching of Daniel Jones

2025 NFL Draft quarterback stock report: Which QBs should be on the Giants’ radar?

The Giants are in the market for a new quarterback. Will they find one in 2025?

Giants' Brian Daboll going with Tommy DeVito to 'create a spark'

On Monday, the New York Giants officially benched quarterback Daniel Jones, demoting him to the QB3 spot, effectively ending his career in East Rutherford.

“After evaluating a bunch of things and looking at a lot of tape, and being around Tommy last year where he created a little bit of a spark for us, that’s the reason why we’re going with Tommy,” Daboll said when he confirmed the quarterback switch...
