The Daniel Jones era has officially ended for the New York Giants.
On Thursday, following a session in which he led practice squad representatives to safety, an emotional Jones said thank you and goodbye to the organization that drafted him.
Jones read a prepared statement when meeting with reporters.
Jones thanked co-owner John Mara and Steve Tisch, saluted the fans and classily took responsibility for the team’s failures during his tenure as starting quarterback.
An emotional Jones also fought back tears as he addressed his teammates, many of whom showed public support, and acknowledged he was considering asking for a release or leaving the team.
Finally, Jones gave his full support to Tommy DeVito, who will replace him on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Once a giant, always a giant.
