Apparently they may franchise him now...they'd be better off targeting a real qb in FA or the draft
I read in an article that if they do franchise him, that tag money gets subtracted directly from their cap space which would leave them with virtually nada to spend in free agency ?


The first day the Giants can use the tag is Tuesday and the last day is March 7. If necessary, the tag can be used on Jones as a placeholder to keep him off the market (teams can start negotiating with free agents March 13) while a longer deal is negotiated, but that tack would mean $32.4 million would be unavailable for the Giants to use in free agency. That would put a crimp in Schoen’s plans, as tagging Jones would temporarily eat up most of the Giants’ $44.4 million in cap space. The two sides would have until July 15 to work out a multi-year deal or Jones would have to play on a one-year deal.

Jones was not thrilled that the new regime came in and immediately declined to pick up his fifth-year option, which would have paid him $22.3 million for the 2023 season. That was Schoen’s way of saying, “Prove to us you deserve the money,’’ and Jones went out, stayed healthy, showed an affinity for Daboll’s offense and helped the Giants get into the playoffs for the first time since 2016. He proved it to Schoen and Daboll.

I dont think Seattle let's geno leave
Hmm see, I would disagree if only because this is the first year in a long time anyone has seen Geno play successful football. Carr is younger and has room and time to grow, and I have an odd feeling that Garoppolo would like to end up in Seattle and pick on SF twice a year with his insider knowledge.

Either that or Aaron Rodgers goes to the west coast where his favorite offseason activity might get legalized, and Pete Carroll wants one last superbowl run before retirement.

I would of franchised D.Jones all along. I'm not giving that dude some big multi year contract because he had one good season with a new coaching staff. Franchise him and let him show you he can do it consistently and if he can then sit down and talk multi year contract with him.

I wouldn't even franchise him. In his "breakout" year this year, he was still pretty mediocre

that makes it impossible for the giants to spend at all in FA though

Well the thing with that is i don't really care if anyone is so sensitive or are trying their best to protect CCS' #1 clown @Anytime23 that they want me to change my sig because it makes them soooooo sad to look at it. It's simply a sig of a clown. I appreciate you trying to help out fat boy (@Anytime23) but i think he's old enough now to handle a sig all by his big boy self. If he or you can't then i'm sorry you have little kid issues.

You have been posting too much in this thread. It's starting to turn into diarrhea.

Please cut back by like 80%

giants will have some decisions to make aside from tagging jones but they will have money for FA. lawrence will get his extension lowering his cap hit, golladay will be cut as will jackson most likely...williams could get extended or cut, not sure how they view him but all these moves can give the giants over 30 mill in cap room after tagging jones. they may not keep barkley but can certainly make some moves in FA.

Yeah i get it but Bears fans are always talking about Fields not having shit around him but all D.Jones had was S.Barkley and a bunch of meh after him. I think he should get another year with Daboll and better weapons on the tag and then go from there.
