The Score
Quarterback Daniel Jones is focusing on what he can control after the New York Giants declined to pick up the fifth-year option on his contract.
"That was out of my control, out of my hand. … It is what it is," Jones said Thursday, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com.
Jones, who turns 25 in May, is entering a prove-it year in the 2022 season. He would've been set to earn $22.3 million in 2023 if the Giants had opted to pick up his option.
The Giants selected Jones with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Duke product has struggled to find consistency in his first three seasons with New York.
