The Giants’ sixth overall pick in 2019, Jones’ tenure in New York was riddled by injuries and uneven play. The team pulled the escape hatch on Jones’ four-year, $160 million contract extension last season by granting him his release in November after Big Blue fell to 2-8.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson told reporters Tuesday that he's ready for a "competition" for the team's QB1 role with signal-caller Daniel Jones, who signed a one-year, $14 million deal this offseason.
