Lawrence Tynes laughs over Tom Brady’s critical comments about Daniel Jones
Lawrence Tynes joined the chat.
The former Giants kicker weighed in after Tom Brady criticized quarterback Daniel Jones' handling of his ejection in New York.
Jones fell to fourth on the strength chart and was sent to the scout team before asking for release from the Giants. He is also scheduled to sign with the Vikings on Friday for $375,000.
“This is crazy,” Tynes wrote on X, including a video of Brady's comments. “The Raiders were crazy about Daniel Jones and wanted to sign him. You know, the team that Brady is a minority owner of.”
The Raiders certainly had interest in Jones after Gardner Minshew missed the rest of the season with a left collarbone injury.

While calling Fox Sports for his first Thanksgiving game — the Cowboys' 27-20 victory over the Giants at AT&T Stadium — Brady asked exactly what happened to Jones. He said he didn't know, but insisted he still didn't approve of how Jones handled the situation.

“I always wanted to earn the trust and respect of my teammates no matter the situation. I knew I was doing what was best for the team because that's the most important thing.”
Jones specifically had an injury clause in his contract with the Giants that would have guaranteed him $23 million next year if he was injured during the offseason and missed a medical exam.
He signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Giants ahead of the 2023 season.

The Giants benched Jones last week ahead of the team's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, and Tommy DeVito started in his place.
According to owner John Mara, the two sides parted ways before Jones joined the Vikings' NFC prospects.
He will likely back up both starting quarterback Sam Darnold and backup Nick Mullens and is scheduled to become a free agent after the season.
