ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes the Daniel Jones era in New York is over. On Sunday in Munich, Germany, Jones went 22-for-37 with 190 yards, a rushing touchdown and two interceptions in the Giants’ 20-17 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers . New York hasn’t won since Week 5.
On an appearance on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike Radio, Schefter told hosts Chris Canty, Evan Cohen and Michelle Smallmon what he thinks about the future of the Giants.
“I would guess that we don’t see Daniel Jones play another down for the Giants,” Schefter said . “Because Brian Daboll’s tone yesterday was different than it was in other weeks. It was always ‘Daniel Jones is our starter, Daniel Jones is our starter, Daniel Jones is our starter’ and then yesterday ‘we’re evaluating everything.'”

Schefter added that because Jones would be guaranteed $23 million if he gets hurt and can’t pass a physical by March, the Giants will likely bench him to prevent that from happening. If New York does bench Jones, Drew Lock would likely start in his place.
