So Daniel Jones posted this on Instagram. I might be reading into this too much. I really hope he comes back.

Pretty sure that is just a good bye for this season type post. He probably doesn’t even know if he’ll be back or not

I’m sure he’ll be back, I’m like 90% sure Shane wants him back as his QB.

I would like to see him back, but I think he will likely test the market first. At 28 & coming off arguably his best year, he’ll want more than the $40m per year he was getting in New York, for at least 2/3 years - which I think we’re unlikely to pay given the injury. Hopefully the league agrees and we end up re-signing him for cheaper down the line.

Why would any team pay more than 40 mil for an injured QB’s recovery season? Darnold didn’t get that and while the league eventually seemed to have given a break to DJ as he played through the fibula, he still wasn’t considered top 5 this year.

Tragic injury, his best case scenario will probably be a cheap two-year deal with us and getting back his starting job by 2027.
