The Daniel Jones era with the New York Giants is over. After he was benched earlier this week, the veteran quarterback requested his release from the team, which was happy to grant it.
Once he passes through waivers (and given his contract, he will), he will become a free agent and can sign with any team in the NFL.
Even though his time with the Giants was mostly a failure, he is still an NFL-caliber quarterback who will get a chance as a backup. Perhaps some team will think he can be the next reclamation project to pan out with a fresh start.
Here are a few teams that might fit as potential landing spots.
Dallas Cowboys
With Dak Prescott out for the season, the Cowboys are stuck with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance as their quarterbacks for the remainder of the season, and it is not going well.
Jones could at least give them another option to consider while creating the potential comedy of him getting an opportunity to play against the Giants on Thanksgiving (though it would seem unlikely even if he did sign there).
The practical benefit could be that Dallas might be eligible for a compensatory draft pick if Jones were to leave in free agency after the season.
Cleveland Browns
On Friday, long-time Browns insider Tony Grossi tried to argue that Jones could be an option for the team next season.
