While the market is considerably bearish on the Giants in 2024, they deserve more respect than being home underdogs to the Vikings in Week 1.
Before the Giants’ 2024 season even starts, it must feel like déjà vu all over again for quarterback Daniel Jones.
Just one year after receiving a four-year deal worth $160 million, there are already murmurs about whether Jones is the long-term solution for the Giants at the position.
The team has a potential out based on how they structured his contract. According to Spotrac, if the Giants release Jones before the 2025 season, their dead cap would drop from $69.3 million to a more manageable $22.2 million.
Thus, Jones is back in the same position of trying to prove his doubters wrong.
While the market is considerably bearish on the Giants in 2024, they deserve a bit more respect than being Week 1 home underdogs to a team with one of the NFL’s lowest win-total projections this season.
