@The_Knutsen@DanSchneierNFL Tin foil hat? Ok, explain what happened in 7 MOA that Jones went from not being worth the $20mm 5th year option, to being worth $40mm a year in AAV. He threw 15 TDs. WTF would you pay him if he had an objectively good season? Of course Mara is forcing this like he did w Eli @ end
@The_Knutsen@DanSchneierNFL I’ve been “waiting and seeing” for at least 8 years. It’s same result. Fredo Mara wants his favorite scrub players at any cost. The giants are the butt of every joke and the team never wins. The fact they’re even considering paying this kid a penny over the tag is insane
@LicensePlateGuy @bway3483 And maybe pigs will fly. This is why this organization has become such a joke. No one hold the imbecile owner accountable for shit like this. “Maybe it won’t be as bad as it seems.” What a thought to have when you sign a player to an expensive long term deal. Only the giants
@The_Knutsen@DanSchneierNFL You can’t commit to … an “unproven” qb at that money for that many years just to keep some cap space for depth signings. It’s year 2 of a rebuild. Even the most ardent Jones supporters have no clue if he’s any good. He could be a career backup in 3 years. 🤷🏻♂️
@The_Knutsen@DanSchneierNFL They don’t HAVE to spend 8 figures on a RB. That’s a luxury. Love is a 3rd safety. They can save money there too. The Giants need to use FA for bargain depth signings like they did last year. Build through the draft. This rebuild was always going to take time.
@The_Knutsen@DanSchneierNFL Who are they going out to sign this off-season? They’re still going to have at least 18mm in space and can create more w extensions for Thomas, Dex and Leo. Where is this great need for cap space?
@JordanRaanan F Jones. Can’t wait until he gets booed out of the building next year when he inevitably sucks. And f Mara and all the others in that building who keep doing the same dumb shot over and over again.
@AlbertBreer@giants already lost this deal. The guy threw 15 TDs in his good year. At best he’s “average.” This team will continue to be a joke until @TheSteveTisch grows a set of balls and stops letting Fredo Mara embarrass the organization
@LicensePlateGuy I’m so done with this garbage franchise. This is the straw that breaks the camels back. This team just loves being the joke of the league.
@DanSchneierNFL Aren’t you troubled by the common theme here: the giants vastly overrating their players. This is being driven by Mara. There is no way Schoen values Jones at that number. No one does. @mlombardiNFL always bring this up
@rydunleavy Apparently the giants are willing to pay him $40mm. This franchise is doomed as long as Fredo Mara owns the team. @Giants@giantspathanlon He’s the dumbest owner in NYC and has turned this team into a perennial laughingstock @TheSteveTisch
@DDuggan21@JackAngelo74 I think you’re greatly overstating how much they want to tie up a cap space on an injury prone aging RB. This might be exactly what they want: being able to cut ties and blame it on Jones.
@DDuggan21 Good and then he’s to blame for that and the fans can hate him. He’s also never getting the number he wants — not after 2 much better QBs signed for less today — unless Mara forces schoen’s hand
