The New York Giants are rumored to be contemplating signing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in free agency, not just as a backup for Daniel Jones but perhaps as a possible successor.
The Giants have tentatively put their chips on Jones, who is entering his fourth season with the club, but are unlikely to exercise Jones’ fifth-year option this spring.
That leaves the Giants’ long-term quarterback plans in a lurch and the possibilities are beginning to emerge. Jones has been often injured and wildly inconsistent but many believe the infrastructure in which he’s had to operate is the main culprit for his failures.
