NFL Rumors: New York Giants Unwilling To Meet QB's Asking Price

The New York Giants off-season hasn't even begun yet, but already they find themselves preparing to make a decision that may have ramifications for this franchise for years and years to come, and right now, it's tough to tell which way it's going to go.

That situation revolves around Quarterback Daniel Jones, who is reportedly seeking $45 million a year, and after reports surfaced that the team could potentially use the franchise tag on him, Giants beat writer Connor Hughes has now seemingly confirmed the team is unwilling to give him what he seeks.

At this stage in time, all signs are pointing towards the franchise tag for Jones in 2023, and if he can prove himself again, the Giants may revisit this price tag, but one thing is for sure, the stability he gives the Giants at QB will be crucial for the 2023 campaign, so they certainly want him back.
