The ESPN host even added a photo of himself drinking from a mug on the set of “First Take,” as if he were sipping tea.
Jones spoke to the media before being released by the Giants on Friday, effectively his last speech with Big Blue.
Duncan said in his “Taking the El” segment that the former Giants quarterback could have kept his words to the media shorter.
“Do you guys think he had this in his notes from like 2020? Honestly, DJ, I could have saved you 90 seconds,” Duncan said. “Rewrite: It's a shame we paid $108 million for one playoff win. And I'm looking forward to reviving my career as Brock Purdy's backup. End.”
On Thursday, Hanlon was among those who felt Duncan's words to Jones were unfair, and Duncan voiced his dissatisfaction with him on “X” without naming names.
“It's amazing that an ESPN personality would mock what Daniel Jones said today,” he said. I wrote to X. “It's tone-deaf considering what's happened at that company over the past few years.”
On Friday, Jones' final day with the Giants, Duncan said on “First Take” that he has no intention of changing his opinion and strongly believes in his criticism of the signal-caller.
“Are you trying to call me disrespectful to Daniel Jones?” she said. “Am I more rude than the Giants making him a scout team safety? I'm more rude than all of the same fans I'm just mentioning who booed him mercilessly over the past six seasons.” I stand by everything I said.”
Jones was drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Duke University and spent six seasons in New York before becoming a free agent.
