The New York Giants have hinted at the end of the Daniel Jones era for months, exploring and publicly craving new quarterbacks well before the start of the 2024 NFL season. On Monday, 10 games in, they finally acted on their desires, benching Jones with plans to promote backup Tommy DeVito moving forward, as CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones reports.
The Giants signed former Denver Broncos starter Drew Lock as their new No. 2 quarterback this offseason, and Lock has briefly appeared in relief of Jones during two games this year. DeVito, however, has a longer track record as a fill-in starter under coach Brian Daboll, going 3-3 in place of an injured Jones during the 2023 season.
