Without a doubt, 2024 is a make-or-break year for New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, whose career has been awfully underwhelming up to this point.
After putting together his best season in 2022, Daniel Jones was awarded a four-year contract extension worth $160 million. The first year of the new deal was a disaster, as Jones lost five of six starts and had two touchdowns vs. six interceptions before suffering a season-ending ACL tear in a game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The good news for the Giants is that Jones’ deal is structured where they can cut him loose next year with minimal financial ramifications. So it’s going to take a heckuva season from Jones to buy himself another year (or two) in the Meadowlands beyond 2024.
Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report listed five teams who should be “all in” on Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl quarterback Dak Prescott if he hits free agency next year. The 30-year-old is entering the final season of a $160 million extension he signed in 2021.
Moton made a compelling case for the Giants to replace Daniel Jones with the quarterback from an archrival team:
“If Jones struggles to move the ball through the air with rookie wideout Malik Nabers, who’s already turning heads at practice, the club must find a quarterback who can elevate the offense.
The Giants know what Dak Prescott can do on the field. He typically plays well against them, and the Dallas Cowboys have a 12-2 record against New York with him as a starter. Saquon Barkley left New York for a division rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. Prescott can do the same, signing with Big Blue to stick it to the Cowboys.”

If Dak Prescott hits free agency, he’ll certainly receive a deal worth $200 million-plus, seeing how a 36-year-old Kirk Cousins got $180 million from the Atlanta Falcons while recovering from a season-ending Achilles tear.
Daniel Jones Has One Last Chance
The 27-year-old Jones has a 22-36-1 record with a 64.3 completion percentage, 12,512 passing yards and 62 touchdowns against 40 interceptions to go along with 1,914 rushing yards and 13 rushing scores.
New York drafted a can’t-miss wide receiver prospect in LSU product Malik Nabers with the No. 6 pick, giving Jones a true game-changing playmaker in the passing game. If Jones isn’t able to get back to his 2022-like form, the Giants will have an easy call to cut ties with him.
RUMOR: 5 Surprise NFL Teams Named As Possible Landing Spots For Cowboys QB Dak Prescott In 2025 Free Agency

The soon-to-be 31-year-old Dak Prescott is entering the final season of a four-year, $160 million pact he signed in the 2021 offseason. Surprisingly, owner Jerry Jones has yet to extend Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (in the final year of his rookie deal) and linebacker Micah Parsons (now eligible for an extension).
The lack of a new deal for Prescott ahead of training camp has some fans wondering if Prescott may end up leaving in free agency next year. If Dallas won’t pay Dak, someone will surely give him a deal worth more than the $180 million that Kirk Cousins just landed with the Atlanta Falcons in March.
Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton listed five teams that should pursue Dak Prescott if he hits free agency in 2025: The Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans.
The Raiders are rolling with Aidan O’Connell and free agent pickup Gardner Minshew II as their QB tandem for 2024. The Giants can get out of Daniel Jones’ $160 million contract next year with minimal financial ramifications.

Pittsburgh landed both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, who can both enter free agency next year. The Seahawks can cut starter Geno Smith next year and save plenty of cap space that would open up room to sign Dak Prescott.
Tennessee is going with 2023 second-round pick Will Levis as their starter this year. But if he doesn’t impress under first-year head coach Brian Callahan, Tennessee could very well be in the market for a big-named QB like Prescott next year.
Dak Prescott & Cowboys Open Season vs. Browns
The Cowboys will begin their 2024 season with a can’t-miss road contest against Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. That will also be the first game in the broadcast booth for Tom Brady, who begins a 10-year deal with FOX.
