The Giants were in talks about altering the massive contract extension. They’ve provided a model for the same by creating $6.315 million through cap space. By doing so, Giants proposed new revised figures. The team would be looking to convert $8.42 million of QB’s salary into a signing bonus. Furthermore, the revision will perhaps balloon Jones’ cap figures to a new cap of $2.105 million for the next three years. However, as the Cowboys crushed the side, Jones faced the wrath of fans.

It was a forgetful night for the NY Giants and their offense. The match saw the Cowboys completely deflate their opposition in a pretty one-sided affair. Fans were naturally upset and demanded questions from one of the highest-paid QBs going around in the league. The fans came down hard on the player who kept a straight face during the pressers.
One user vented his frustration saying “Coach Daboll, why is Daniel Jones still in the game down 40-0??”, Another one chipped in saying “There were people – real actual human people – who said this week they they preferred Daniel Jones to Dak Prescott”. Another user mocked Jones by writing “Let’s check in on Daniel Jones tonight vs. the Cowboys defense.” What lies in hindsight is to see how the HC Brian Daboll picks his side up and exudes positivism after a crushing loss.
