Good for Jones and Giants

Some stability for both

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

That's...a lot of money for a QB who hasn't proven much.

That's...a lot of money for a QB who hasn't proven much.

It is a great time to be a starting QB, even just an average one

 

[The Note]

Will have to wait and see on the guarantees - Derek Carr just got a "3 year deal" last year, after all - but the Giants were in a tough spot with Jones. Still don't think he's a guy that'll put you over the top but maybe you can surround him with enough talent to make some noise, though that gets more difficult with a QB on a non-rookie deal.

 

[StreetHawk]

Carr not even a 3 year deal. More like 2 years for $70 mill, but leaves the saints with $14 mill of dead cap on top of the $10 mill they eat for his roster bonus in 2025. They are not taking a $47 mill cap charge on Carr for 2025. Either a cut or restructure.

Same as Geno. $105 mill first reported but now it’s more $25 mill bae salaries with bonuses and incentives for the other $30 mill.

Guess it’s basically 2 years for Jones for around the non exclusive tag money.

 

[GKJ]

You can surround Jones with pieces and get out of the NFC.

 

[The Note]

There it is. First two years fully guaranteed, so they should be able to get out of it after those 2 years if it goes bad.

 

[Halladay]

You can surround Jones with pieces and get out of the NFC.

Ehhh they need alot more talent on both sides of the ball for that to happen.

I wouldn't even call him league average. I mean, perhaps he was league average this year but career-wise he most definitely falls under below-average when it comes to starting QBs.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Ehhh they need alot more talent on both sides of the ball for that to happen.

Just like pretty much every other QB and team in the league does…

I think Jones has earned that right, as the guy to build around

 

[GKJ]

Ehhh they need alot more talent on both sides of the ball for that to happen.

So does everyone else in the NFC.

 

[Halladay]

So does everyone else in the NFC.

True but they still are much further behind the Niners, Eagles, and Cowboys. Thjnk they will be behind the Lions too.

 

[Breakers]

$195 million GTFOH

Schefter said the incentive arent even difficult to get to allow for that amount.

It doesn't take much. If you look at the NFC in the past decade or so, most but not all, year 2 of the program is when teams are getting to the Super Bowl. And they won a playoff game this year, so they have good reason to believe they will be as good as anyone else in the conference.

Chill and check back in with spotrac in 48 hours to see the contract details. Remember Carr and Geno the past day? Big difference in the real numbers when you dig into the details.

If he’s allowed to achieve it, it’ll likely be worth it.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

He should said a thank you card to Ed Donatell.

 

[Scomerica]

A lot of money for someone not everyone is convinced by. I just think he has a low ceiling and has never put a full season of greatness together.

Feels like a QB people make excuses for. Where his receivers elite? Probably not but QB's on his sort of money make it work and get the best out of them.

A lot of money now tied up on him and Saquon with the tag. This contract is only a few million less per year than Mahomes.

Always wait on the full details. $195 mill is the max as Geno’s $105 mill yesterday. Probably a 2 year deal for a floor of $60-$65 mill.

I thought I read 80 million guaranteed?

 

[StreetHawk]

Could be like Carr where a portion of year 3 base salary vests after year 1. Again, details.

 

[Pestilence]

I have a difficult time seeing the Giants go far in the playoffs with Jones as their QB, but maybe they'll prove me wrong.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I realize top QBs make this $. I'm just not sure if Jones is a top QB.
