Former Duke University quarterback Daniel Jones has been identified as a surprise trade candidate ahead of the NFL deadline, according to a Roundtable Sports report published Tuesday.
The analysis by Matt Levine suggests the New York Giants signal-caller could be moved despite his status as a former first-round selection. Jones, who played collegiately at Duke before being drafted sixth overall in 2019, has faced scrutiny over his performance and contract situation in recent seasons.
Trade speculation surrounding the 27-year-old quarterback has intensified as the Giants evaluate their long-term plans at the position. Any potential deal would involve significant salary cap considerations given Jones' current contract structure.
