Let’s end this with a little chaos. With quarterback Drew Lock on the roster, the Giants could … hypothetically … save Jones from the definite embarrassment of losing the quarterback battle in New York before it happens. They can get out of his contract with a post-June 1 trade, and Jones could take a year, back up a contending quarterback in Jordan Love, rework his mechanics and improve his game in the background and try for a new contract on the open market in 2025, where we’ve seen quarterbacks like Jones get paid in the past.
Packers fans might balk at this, but there is not a lot of experience behind Love should disaster strike. Jones’ value is probably low right now, and Green Bay could rework his deal to make him one of the NFL’s high-end backups. Plus, the Giants have quarterback Tommy DeVito that can sit behind Lock to give them a plan there before, we’re sure, taking a quarterback high in the 2025 NFL Draft. This feels like a win-win to us before a problem starts in the Big Apple.
POSSIBLE TRADE: Jones to Green Bay for a 2025 sixth-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick
