The New York Giants are set to start fan-favorite quarterback Tommy DeVito against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after they benched former first-round pick Daniel Jones this week.
After a 2-8 start to the season, New York moved Jones to the No. 3 spot on its depth chart behind DeVito and Drew Lock.
Though Jones’ inadequacies were only part of a wider set of problems that ultimately doomed the Giants’ 2024 campaign, New York seems inclined to move on from their $160 million quarterback, whether he remains on its roster or not.
See what Jones had to say to the media this morning in this video that was posted to Twitter by NFL insider Ian Rapoport:

Though Jones didn’t indicate that the Giants intended to release him, it doesn’t seem like a great sign that he was reading from a prepared statement that was worded more like a firm “goodbye” than a friendly “see you later.”
