It has been years since the New York Giants’ franchise broke out of their rut. To find back-to-back seasons where they ended the season above .500, you’d have to go back more than a decade (2010-2012). It has not worked out the way the team expected with the Daniel Jones experiment.
Now Jones is saying goodbye to the franchise that drafted him.
“I’ve Loved Playing For New York” Giants Abruptly See Veteran Say Goodbye To Team
It was reported today by many sources that quarterback Daniel Jones was running scout team Safety during practice this week:

“The opportunity to play for the New York Giants was truly a dream come true and I’m extremely grateful to the Mara and Tisch families for the chance to play here,” Jones said. “The Giants are truly a first-class organization and I have nothing but genuine respect and appreciation for the people who have built it and who helped carry on that tradition. I’ve met so many special people and created relationships that will truly last a lifetime.
“Thank you to all my teammates, coaches and staff that have done so much for me these past six years. There have been some great times, but of course we all wish there had been more of those. I take full responsibility for my part in not bringing more wins. No one wanted to win more games worse than me and I gave everything I had on the field and in my preparation.
“Of course, this season has been disappointing for all, and of course I wish I could have done more. I’m 100 percent accountable for my part. I did not play well enough consistently enough to help the team get the results. The reality of the NFL is it’s hard to win games and requires consistent performance from everyone involved. We didn’t do that well enough, so the idea to change something happens and I understand.
“I love the game. I love being part of a team. I’m excited for the next opportunity and know that there’s a lot of good football in front of me and I’m excited about that.
“To all the fans, I’ve got deep respect and appreciation for your passion and love for the Giants. The fans are a huge part of what makes playing for the Giants special.”
