New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen has broken his silence on the hot-button issue surrounding quarterback Daniel Jones' future, and he didn't mince words. Head coach Brian Daboll has already indicated that the team is exploring its quarterback options during this week's bye. That means we could see Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito under center when the Giants return for Week 12. But make no mistake—this isn't just about who takes the snaps; it's about the big picture of an organization stumbling to find answers.

Jones, saddled with a $23 million injury guarantee for next season, is at the center of the conversation. Yet, Schoen insisted on Tuesday that the quarterback's contract won't be dictating the Giants' path forward.
"The decisions we make will be football decisions," Schoen stated.

He was clear that the team's dismal 2-8 record isn't solely on Jones's shoulders. "It's everybody. Everybody's got a hand in this," he added, spreading the accountability across the entire roster and coaching staff.
Schoen's admission is a sobering reminder that the problems in New York run deeper than the quarterback position. The decision to extend Jones two years ago—a move that now looks questionable at best—is part of a broader miscalculation by a front office that had high hopes for this season. Daboll and Schoen built this team expecting progression; instead, they find themselves evaluating replacements under center and facing the prospect of a lost season.
The next few weeks will be crucial as the Giants attempt to salvage what's left. Whether Jones, Lock, or DeVito takes the field, one thing is clear: the Giants are now playing for more than just wins—they're playing for their future.
