The New York Giants benched quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week, and he was expected to remain a backup until the team moved on from him this offseason. However, the Giants are parting ways with their former No.

But, as it turns out, the beginning of the end may have arrived far sooner than Jones's benching. Multiple players told ESPN's Jordan Raanan that the quarterback's relationship with coach Brian Daboll "appeared different" during the 2024 season, with one player even calling the dynamic between the player and coach "weird."
