The Giants would be headed into their bye week at 2-8, riding a five-game losing streak with no chance at a playoff berth, and with Jones a financial liability to the team with a $23 million injury guarantee for 2025 that becomes fully guaranteed if he gets hurt and is unable to pass a physical in the offseason.

At that point, it would be Drew Lock time, with perhaps a little Tommy DeVito sprinkled in, for the rest of the season.
