Report: Jones, Giants to leave combine without deal, no resolution in sight
The New York Giants and Daniel Jones' agents are expected to leave the NFL combine on Sunday without a contract agreement, and there is no resolution in sight, sources told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Jones is reportedly looking for more than $45 million per year on a long-term extension. In February, the 25-year-old Jones changed agencies to Athletes First, who negotiated contracts for quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Dak Prescott.
The Giants have until Tuesday to place the franchise tag on Jones to keep him from hitting free agency on March 13. General manager Joe Schoen admitted on Thursday that the two sides are still not close to an agreement.
"You're starting to feel the time crunch a little bit," Schoen said on "Good Morning Football." "I wish we were a little bit closer on a deal than what we are right now. But again, there's still time."
Jones had a career year in 2022, totaling 3,913 yards with 22 touchdowns. He led the Giants to their first playoff win since 2011.
The non-exclusive franchise tag on Jones would be worth $32.4 million, according to Over The Cap.
