The New York Giants' release of quarterback Daniel Jones sparks reflection on the Seattle Seahawks' playoff race. Jones' last win as a Giant came against Seattle, raising questions about whether the Seahawks missed a chance to secure a crucial victory.
The New York Giants are out of the playoff race , but their recent decision to part ways with quarterback Daniel Jones serves as a reminder of the precarious position the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in. Jones, benched earlier in the week and reduced to scout-team safety, was granted his release after six seasons and one playoff win. The Giants will absorb over $20 million in dead money due to Jones' four-year, $160 million contract extension signed at the end of the 2022 season.
Interestingly, Jones' final win as a Giant came against the Seahawks. Despite playing without star rookie receiver Malik Nabers, Jones threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 38 yards in a 29-20 victory at Lumen Field. Since that win, the Giants have lost five consecutive games, and Jones has struggled significantly. Meanwhile, the Seahawks are battling for a playoff spot, and the performance of their defense could be key. It's possible that the Seahawks' earlier game against Jones, when he was still performing at a high level, may be viewed as a missed opportunity in retrospect
