Giants grant Daniel Jones his release after fourth-string demotion

Daniel Jones is moving on.

The quarterback, relegated to fourth string after losing his starting job with the Giants this week, was released Friday after making a request to the team.

“Daniel came to see me this morning and asked if we would release him,” owner 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.”
