It was late Monday night, and Daniel Jones’s agents, Brian Murphy and Camron Hahn, were cashed from a day that started with a flight from Indianapolis to New Jersey, was spent mostly on the first floor of the Giants’ practice facility and didn’t engender a ton of optimism that a blockbuster contract was on the horizon. So in that delirium, as they tried to construct one last proposal to swing the momentum, a weird idea arose.
Let’s start drawing pigs.
Hahn bet he could draw a better one than Murphy. Murphy’s resembled a fish with legs. Hahn’s was marginally better—a curly tail actually made it distinguishable as a pig, which was enough to win the impromptu competition. And in the end, their hope was what was underneath, the so-called Lipstick on a Pig proposal, would be enough to win the day Tuesday and help get the Giants and Jones to the endgame everyone was looking for.
