New York Giants
The Daniel Jones era has officially come to an end for the New York Giants.
On Thursday, following a session in which he took practice squad reps at safety, an emotional Jones said thank you and goodbye to the organization that drafted him.
Jones read from a prepared statement as he met with reporters.

The Daniel Jones era in New York is all but officially done.
He has been benched as the Giants’ starting quarterback in favor of fan favorite Tommy DeVito.
Ex-Giants receiver Victor Cruz recently spoke with Mackenzie Salmon of USA TODAY Sports’ “Sports Seriously” about several topics, including Jones.
“They’ve seen enough from him,” said Cruz. “I think it was a rebuild move for the entire team moving forward.”
Cruz also discussed the Giants’ decision to invest in Jones over Saquon Barkley, who is having an MVP-caliber season in Philadelphia.
“You let Saquon walk out the door with nothing in return,...

Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen searching for answers
In the NFL every play matters. That’s why New York Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen has been spending a lot of his time trying to figure out why his defense continues to give up four of five explosive runs every week.
“The explosive runs is an area we’ve got to improve. And it’s three to four runs a game. And then you’ve got another 20, 22 that you feel pretty good about,” Bowen said on Thursday. “So we’ve got to do a good job finding ways to eliminate those.
“Making sure we’re tackling....

Would the Giants bring Sanders to New York?
The Draft Process has begun for the New York Giants.
We had already started shifting our attention to the draft when the Giants fell to 2-8 on the season. But by benching Daniel Jones and reportedly making him QB4 in practice, it’s clear that the Giants are moving on at the most important position.
So now pretty much every mock draft that comes out between now and April will likely feature a passer for Big Blue. That’s the case for the mock draft released by ESPN’s Matt Miller on Thursday morning.

The New York Giants will welcome back a familiar face on Sunday when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Sterling Shepard, who spent the first eight years of his career with the Giants, will face off against his former team for the first time.
The biggest storyline of the week is, of course, the Giants benching of Daniel Jones and turning to Tommy DeVito at quarterback — a face Shepard is familiar with from last season.
Shepard has warned his teammates, that DeVito is not someone who should be taken lightly:

Last year, New York Giants rookie free agent quarterback Tommy DeVito was thrust into the team’s starting role due to injuries to Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor.
As a local New Jersey product, he took full advantage of his opportunity and, along with his colorful family and friends, managed to capture the imagination of Giant fans and add some interest in an otherwise dreadful season.
This week, DeVito was named the Giants’ starter for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium.
This time around, DeVito knows what to expect and so do the fans.
“Last year was...

Let’s learn more about the Buccaneers
The New York Giants have a game Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With everything going on with the Giants currently it is easy to overlook that simple fact. Let’s check with SB Nation’s Bucs Nation for this week’s ‘5 questions’ segment. Evan Wanish answers our questions.
Evan: Simply put, a roller coaster. They still remain being the only team to beat the Detroit Lions this year and did so on the road while short handed on defense but then...

The manner in which the New York Giants are treating quarterback Daniel Jones these days is simply unjust — and unprofessional.
Jones was ousted from his starting position this week in favor of third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito and is now listed as the team’s fourth quarterback.
The Giants are dry-docking Jones on their roster behind DeVito, Drew Lock (who is also being mistreated), and newly-signed Tim Boyle not only because of his underperformance but for financial reasons.
Jones has a $23 million injury clause that will kick in should he get injured. The Giants are doing everything they can to...

Tampa’s record doesn’t reflect it, but the Bucs’ offense has been good this year
The New York Giants return home after an incredibly consequential loss in Munich, Germany, to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Both teams are coming off of a much-needed bye week, and hoping to stop their respective slides. The Giants are on a 5-game losing streak and carrying a dismal 2-8 record following their loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Buccaneers, meanwhile, are on a 4-game losing streak and are 4-6 on the season.
The matchup between the Giants’ defense and the Buccaneers’ offense is a showdown...

This past offseason, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen misread the room and was left empty-handed when disgruntled quarterback Tyrod Taylor jumped ship to the New York Jets.
Schoen had been convinced Taylor would return despite losing his job due to injury in 2023, as we saw on “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants.”
With Schoen caught off guard by Taylor’s departure, he went out and signed quarterback Drew Lock to a one-year, $5 million deal.
Lock was viewed as an insurance policy in the event Daniel Jones (knee) was unable to start the season. When it...
