It’s time for Mr. Thomas Cutlets in North Jersey as the Daniel Jones era ends:

The New York Giants have released quarterback Daniel Jones, the team announced Friday.

“Daniel came to see me this morning and asked if we would release him,” Giants president John Mara said in a statement. “We mutually agreed that would be best for him and for the team.

“Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way. His handling of this situation yesterday exemplifies just that. We are all disappointed in how things have worked out. We hold Daniel in high regard and have a great appreciation for him. We wish him nothing but the best in the future.”

The Giants, who have lost their past five games, host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12 and will move forward with a new starter at quarterback. Giants coach Brian Daboll announced Monday, after the team’s Week 11 bye, the Giants would make a change and will start Tommy DeVito on Sunday.

“After evaluating and watching a lot of tape, that’s the reason we are going with Tommy,” Daboll said. “Drew Lock will be the backup. This was a necessary move for us, and I’m looking forward to working with Tommy, and he’ll be ready to go against Tampa Bay.”

It’s also pretty funny that they’re playing Billy Joel’s ex-drummer over Drew Lock even though they’re playing the latter $5 million. I will rarely criticize a team for moving on from an expensive running back, but between $5.5. mill for Devin Singletary and another 5 for a sub-replacement level backup…I assume John Mara has done the math on the guaranteed money here.
