Daniel Jones shared a classy written goodbye to the Giants as they unsubtly end his tenure
Say what you want about Daniel Jones as a professional quarterback. He’s still a human being with feelings, and he deserves a lot better from the New York Giants as they unsubtly end his tenure as their starter and turn to Tommy DeVito (again).
Amid likely the most challenging point of his NFL career, kudos to Jones for being a bigger person.
On Thursday, during a regularly scheduled press conference, Jones read out his official goodbye to the Giants organization, thanking leaders in the organization for giving him an opportunity to play for New York in the first place. In other words, he gave the Giants more respect in an adverse situation for himself than they probably deserved.
Man, I just feel bad for the guy because you know he’s taking this whole situation to heart:

As of now, Jones remains on the Giants roster. Beyond the fact that he will likely not start another game for them, it’s still unclear how they plan to proceed with him over the next few weeks. When you see tidbits like this press conference, it would’ve been nice if they could’ve shown a little more public decency in the meantime.
