The New York Giants could soon make a change at quarterback. Daniel Jones has struggled this season and the Giants are now 2-8 heading into next year’s top draft pick. In the team’s upcoming bye week, head coach Brian Daboll has a critical decision to make at quarterback.

The Giants will consider a quarterback change during the bye week

While speaking to the media on Sunday after the Giants’ embarrassing loss to the Panthers in Germany, head coach Brian Daboll indicated that a quarterback change could be on the horizon:

“I would say we have a lot of work to do here in the next few days, in the next week, and we’ll assess where we are and what we need to do,” Daboll said when asked about the defender. position, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan (h/t Bleacher Report).

Daboll previously committed to Jones whenever asked about the quarterback’s status throughout the season. His non-committal response and consideration of making a change is a stark change from his previous comments. With a week off to adjust during the off-season, now could be the perfect time to move on to a new quarterback.

It makes financial sense for the Giants to draft Daniel Jones

The Giants have 23 million reasons to give up on Jones. The injury clause in his contract makes his play a financial risk and benching him is a necessary move to protect the team’s future salary cap. Whether he gets benched during the bye week or not, the move feels inevitable and will likely happen at some point this season.
