4 ways Daniel Jones’ selfishness could hurt the NY Giants this offseason

1. Daniel Jones could cost himself even more money for the future

Whoever is in Jones’ ear telling him to go after Jackson-type of money is really messing things up for him. What Jones needs to realize is that he’s only 25 years old, turning 26 in May. Imagine he signs a four-year contract at a reasonable price, and that deal allows the Giants to build with playmakers around him.

Then by the time he’s 30, he could then ask for even more money with plenty of prime years for his career ahead of him. The way he’s thinking now, Jones will end up on the franchise tag and the Giants won’t be able to bring him in a star receiver, plus needed improvements for the interior offensive line.

Not only that, but the Giants need a serious makeover at linebacker, while building some depth for the secondary. None of that will be possible unless Jones snaps out of whatever he’s feeling and comes to terms that he’s not an elite starting quarterback just yet. There’s no reason for him to be paid like one.

The longer this madness carries out, the worse it’s going to look for Jones overall. Fans are starting to turn on him as well. If he’s serious about helping Big Blue get to a Super Bowl soon, Jones must be realistic with his salary demands. Right now, the opposite is the case.
