In terms of a deal, it is considered that the $45 million per year is a far-fetched dream for Daniel Jones. It would also mean that Jones will be earning more than Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

People still do not regard Jones as a top-tier quarterback despite his success as a starter for the New York Giants. This has led to the rise of a complicated situation. The New York Giants will look to unwind this mess as soon as possible.
Money in the bank for Jones?
While the situation remains complicated, Jones has made it even more so with his ludicrous demands. A player like Lamar Jackson making such a demand seems more reasonable, being a top-tier material. But Daniel Jones still has a lot to prove in the NFL.

Great players never look in the mirror and think that they are great. What makes them great is their passion to improve every day. We can say the same for quarterback Daniel Jones. While he may think he deserves a pay raise, he is yet to prove worthy of such a figure in the eyes of football fans.
