Eisen is in the first year of a four-year, $160 million contract he signed last year, fanning the flames of a potential Giants move on from Jones, even though he just finished an injury-plagued 2023. The Giants guaranteed $92 million of that contract, with $81 million guaranteed at signing.
“The Giants are completely done with Daniel Jones,” Eisen said on the show. “We might have to play him this year, but it’s different and they feel it’s different. The phrase I heard over and over again at the combine was ‘buyer’s remorse.’

Giants general manager Joe Schon expressed confidence in Jones last week.
“I have confidence in Daniel as the starting quarterback,” he said.
Sean said Jones understands the team will need to add a quarterback to back him up at some point.
“He’s coming back from injury. Tommy DeVito and Daniel are under contract, so we’re looking to bring in either of those veteran quarterbacks in free agency. Tyrod (Taylor) is also in the mix.” added Shane. “I’m going to be talking to Tyrod’s agent this week and Tyrod is a true professional. He’s been really good to not only Daniel, but Tommy DeVito and his progress throughout the year. He is a true professional.”
“So we’re going to talk about that position. Again, that’s possible through free agency and that doesn’t preclude us from doing it in the draft.”
