We have a significant NFL agent change heading into the 2023 offseason.
Sunday night, New York Giants free agent quarterback Daniel Jones opted to change agents. This is a massive offseason for Jones, who could be franchise tagged or given a new contract by the NFC East franchise.
What does the changing of the agents mean?
"Giants QB Daniel Jones is in the process of making an agent change with new contract + free agency on the horizon, per sources. He was being represented by CAA. Expectation is he’ll be joining Athletes First. Not sure how much impact it will have, but it’s at least interesting," Jordan Raanan reported.
Pro Football Talk believes this means a franchise tag is likely coming Jones' way.
"So what does Jones want? There are two possibilities. One, he’s willing to do a deal for less than CAA was willing to accept. Two, he wants more than CAA was able to get.
As one source explained it, it’s the latter. Jones wants more than the Giants have offered. Possibly as much as $45 million per year, or more," they reported.
The Giants do have a fascinating decision on their hands with Jones' contract.
"I wouldn’t sign him until I get him an elite WR and see what he does with it. Franchise tag makes the most sense," one fan wrote.
"Look, if the Giants want to overpay this guy they are welcome to, but I would caution ANY team to never, ever base how good their QB can be based on how they play against the Vikings defense. Especially last year's defense," another fan added.
What would you do with Jones if you were the Giants?
