Given Daniel Jones’ inconsistency over his first three seasons its not surprising to see the Giants choose to wait it out.
Fans reacted to New York’s decision across social media.
“First good move by Joe Schoen,” a Giants fan tweeted.

“Audition year,” replied another. “If he breaks out and becomes a franchise guy he’ll get paid. Anything less and he’s on a new team as a backup.”

Brian Daboll will likely be stuck with Jones for at least a year. If he can turn things around for the struggling Giants QB, New York could have a good problem on its hands.
