The Giants released Kerry Collins in 2004 to make way for Eli Manning, and Daniel Jones could face a similar fate if the team drafts a quarterback in the first round in 2024. While Jones is guaranteed $36 million for the 2024 season, his starting job is not secure. A highly touted rookie quarterback could put Jones on notice, and the pressure to get the rookie on the field could create a maelstrom that distracts the team. Jones has had five years to prove himself, but he has failed to do so consistently. A first-round quarterback pick could signal the end of his time with the Giants, just as the arrival of Manning signaled the end of Collins’ time.
