Rumor: The Prodigal Son And The Road Home

My good friend who's a huge Giants fan sent me this this morning. The rumor from Giants fans is big Daniel Jones has his eyes on returning home to Charlotte and obviously his favorite team growing up in Charlotte your Carolina Panthers.

There's no question Danny Jones played his butt off this last season and basically carried that offense until they ran into a real playoff contender a more complete roster.

Not a popular choice here but Daniel Jones at 6'5" 230+ with 67% completion percentage in the NFL (Brady,Brees level), a gifted run threat with the size and strength to get those tough yards, arm, accuracy.

Derek Carr!?

Daniel Jones is a SUPERIOR QB look at all his rankings. Yards, INTS, QBR?! Nothing below top 15, nothing. He never had receivers or a line in front of him like we have now so with targets instead of JAGS all those stats will rise, and if they do the already special DJ will be a f'n problem for the NFL AND he wants to do that for his state, his city, his family.

Daniel Jones! I welcome you.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the Giants will place the franchise tag on Daniel Jones if he isn't signed to a contract extension by Tuesday.

Tuesday is the deadline to assign the franchise tag to a player. Jones is reportedly asking for $45 million per year. That would make him the fifth highest-paid quarterback in the league, tied with Patrick Mahomes. Jones played arguably the best football of his career in 2022. He ranked as the 11th-best quarterback in EPA per play and sat at No. 19 in adjusted yards per attempt. Still, top-five money at the position seems like a rich ask from Jones, and the Giants apparently agree. The two sides are reportedly not close to a deal, making the franchise tag all but inevitable.

If I were a pro QB, I’d take 25 million per year instead of 40 to play for the Panthers.
 

What am I really going to do with 40mil per year that will make my life extraordinarily better than earning 25mil per?

My answer is nothing that would overcome playing QB for my favorite team in my home state. Not claiming D Jones shares that sentiment.

I cannot see anyone giving up 2 firsts and 45 mil per for Daniel Jones.
