Daniel Jones | Photo by Ian Maule/Getty Images Jones isn’t Patrick Mahomes, but ranking him as the league’s worst starting quarterback is a bridge too far The Daniel Jones slander has reached a new, and completely ridiculous, level. This week, Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports ranked all 32 likely starting quarterbacks for the 2024 season. He placed Jones last. That’s silly. That’s insulting. That’s just plain wrong. I’m not here to tell you Jones is a great quarterback. He’s not. We can all agree, at least, that he has not been that. He probably never will be. I’m not here to tell you Jones will be ..read more

That process began on Thursday when fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy Jr., a running back, signed his rookie deal.

Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images PFF continues to love the Giants’ draft Pro Football Focus analyst Trevor Sikkema has already heaped praise upon the New York Giants for their work in 2024. And on Thursday he named the Giants’ rookie class as one he believes will be among the NFL’s most productive. Sikkema doesn’t really break any new ground in the piece. He doesn’t grade or evaluate the classes as a whole, nor does he try to forecast just how productive the rookies will be. Instead, he says, he’s trying to project which classes will get the most production from their rookies. The Giants w ..read more
