With a number of stop-gap quarterbacks who might change into out there within the foreseeable future and given the construction of his contract, Johnson believes the Giants might look to half methods with him on the finish of the season.
Clearly, GM Joe Schoen nonetheless has religion in Jones; in any other case, he wouldn’t have doubled down on him and even given him an elite weapon in Malik Nabers.
However, given how shortly and drastically issues change within the league, Schoen may not even be there if issues don’t go effectively this season.
