1. 

   So ends the jones era

2. Expected.

3. Finally. Schoen doing the right thing here

4. Bro got sent to the shadow realm

5. Send him to the practice squad

   

6. Protecting that 25m

7. Gotta bubble wrap him completely and keep him 20 feet away from the sidelines. He must also stand behind the backup OL at all times lol. We’re taking no chances with that injury guarantee.

8. Lol

   They took Jone’s facility card.

   Brutal.

   I feel for him but I don’t feel for him. He’s a rich man.

9. That’s a “just so you know, it’s completely over” move right there

10. Oh, they’re DONE done.

11. Does he even suit up on Sundays now?

12. Yes we all knew once Daniel Jones was benched he will never play a snap for this team again.

    I’ve been saying this since the offseason, it would have been beneficial to both parties if they negotiated a waiver of the injury clause. Daniel Jones could have showcased his talent longer for a contract on another team next year, and the Giants wouldn’t have to bench the best QB on their roster in a scenario like this.

13. Kay Adams in shambles

14. I was at DJ’s first start so this hits me weirdly, but at the same time I’m ready to move on.

15. This franchise is so fu*king embarrassing. Your astronomically paid starting QB is now the backup QB to a 3rd string QB (Lock) who shouldn’t have even been a 2nd string QB. The complete mismanagement of how our QB room was handled this offseason is pathetic. And that’s all on Schoen. He set us up for failure and idk how any of the players want to play for a team where even top brass shows they don’t want to win before the first game even kicks off.

16. This is truly the definitive end of the Daniel Jones era.

17. I feel bad for DJ the person, not so much DJ the qb. I so badly wanted him to figure it out, but it just never happened. Dude was always a class act, but unfortunately being a good guy just isn’t enough, especially at qb… though it may have been part of why he got such a long leash, if he was an asshole they would have made this move long ago

18. Imagine if DeVito gets hurt and then Lock goes in and gets hurt too. Would the Giants be forced to put Jones in and risk him getting hurt? Or would they just put Sexy Dexy at QB and have fun with it?

19. Daniel Jones will never play another snap for this team again.

    Yes, we all know that already – I just like writing it and saying it.

20. In every Madden franchise I’ve done, Danny ended up moving to the Falcons and absolutely killing it. Wishing him the best

21. This is like Christmas morning

22. He has the best job in the world now. Being paid millions to hold a clipboard.

23. DJ is the perfect franchise QB except for his talent

24. Remember when Lock said he chose NY because he was told he’d have the best chance to start here compared to other locations? Wonder what went wrong..

25. Guys we were doing so good with DJ at QB.

    Now Tommy is gonna make us drop back further in draft

26. is this why he was running so hard and taking all those hits? was bro trying to get injured?

27. As someone who was a little too young to properly enjoy the Eli years, Jones was sort of my QB, shame to see it end like this but it was overdue. I have only known the giants being bad. Can I still wear his jersey to games? lol.

28. I look forward to seeing $25 DJ jerseys at Marshalls next year

29. With this news, Daniel Jones will finish 5 consecutive seasons, and 5 out of the 6 of his career, with more games started than TD passes thrown.

    Read that again.

    We started, and paid, a QB to start more games than throw for TD’s for this team. Not once. Not twice.

    FIVE. TIMES. $160 MILLION.

30. What does the stupid is he the guy meter say?

31. Mother fucker is gonna go base jumping to lock up that guarantee now

32. Sending DJ to cryo storage.

33. Took them longer to bench Jones than it did Eli and he got us 2 rings. This kinda stuff makes me wanna jump ship 🚢 most mishandled franchise in NFL history

34. Carl’s Stone Cold **Lock** Of The Century *Of The Week*

35. Will upvote this til my thumbs bleed

36. So who is our new third quarterback? Like saquon used to be. Wasn’t it one of the receivers?

37. Rest in Piss, Danny. You killed my team.

38. Good.

    Nobody feel bad, please. The guy has more money than all of us combined. Enough.

39. This is a huge fuck you to Daniel Jones by Daboll & it’s very well deserved.

40. RG3 protocol has been activated.

41. All of us right now…

    

42. It’s Joever yall. What changing Presidents does to a team.
