The Dan Jones thing is interesting. Lot’s of reputable outlets reporting 45 million. The thing I like is how they opted to not pick up 5th year for 22 million but sound like they are willing to tag him for 32.

Not picking up Tran Jones option was a bigly mistake by the Giants…..that truth hurts.

Yup add in that a few other QBs sign that will go from 32 to 40 but at 32 mill he will still be in the middle of the pack pay wise. Giants had no cap space last year, they couldn't sign him.


Once Hurts, Burrows and Hurbert resign Jones will around #15 pay wise at 32 million.

I would like to see data that shows how effective the franchise tag is in finally generating a long term contract with the team. Maybe it is just the Washington track record with using it but I don't see it effective.

I agree, when tagged 100% is on the cap for that season. As I understand it they can negotiate all the way till mid June then the tag becomes a contract.
