The New York Giants are no closer to agreeing a new deal with quarterback Daniel Jones, and they may use their franchise tag to avoid him entering free agency.
That's according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, who claims that the Giants have been attempting to negotiate with Jones' agents at the NFL Combine this week, with the franchise tag deadline fast approaching. The Giants are keen to keep Jones with the franchise, and the quarterback is open to staying, but salary demands remain an issue.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, a 'big number is on the table' for Jones as the Giants look to secure his long-term future. But if they can't reach an agreement before March 7, they could use their franchise tag.
