The New York Giants aren't afraid of The Middle. They want Daniel Jones back... at their price. This GM, unlike the previous GM, is smart and steady with such colossal decisions.
I don’t know if the $45 million number is true or not. But one thing Jones should consider is if he forces the Giants to pay him like an All Pro and he under performs, the fans and the press will eat him alive. Eli never took a pay cut but the fans didn’t mind because he always gave the team a chance to win. Jones has yet to prove that. He should talk to Phil Simms or Dave Brown. Simms was able to win them over with his play. Brown never did. But neither could ever be labeled greedy. If Jones holds a gun to the Giants head over money…he better be the next Josh Allen. Or he just might wind up being the richest player in the XFL.
Trust Joe Schoen on this one
