New Developments Follow as Young QB Demands ‘Patrick Mahomes’ Money From Giants

For the last couple of days, Daniel Jones had become a hot subject of discussion in the NFL world. His deliberate attempt to pull out a Patrick Mahomes kind-of contract created shockwaves across the internet, with fans questioning his ability and success rate for the New York Giants. Meanwhile, the updates thrown by the NFL Insider Dov Kleiman provide more insights into the current scenario.

According to multiple reports, the fifth-year quarterback for the Giants asked for a whopping $45 million contract per year. However, the franchise was unable to accept the initial request, especially when the cap space had limited scope for adjustments. Kleiman reiterated this notion stating that the team has figured out a certain number for their starter, but the signal-caller is not ready to accept the deal with his expectations sky-high.

“Update: The #Giants are “nowhere near” QB Daniel Jones’ asking price on a new contract. The team is “set on a certain number” they believe Daniel Jones is worth, and Jones’ camp is above that figure.” the insider wrote in his latest tweet. While the free agency and uncertainties continue to loom, Jones is expected to get slapped with a franchise tag.

The current rate for quarterbacks under the tag is reported as $32.4 million, and the legroom for the Giants is only $40 million. Playmakers like Saquon Barkley are still on the line for extensions and restructured contracts.
