Cory Woodroof for USA Today Sports’ For The Win . Jones might move to Green Bay for a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft and a seventh-round pick in 2026.The proposed trade could benefit the Giants and Jones.
According to Woodroof, the Packers could adjust Jones' contract to make him a high-quality backup.
This would allow the Giants to focus on finding a new quarterback in next year’s draft.
Despite some moves made by the Giants this year, they seem willing to give Jones another chance.
It seems unlikely that Daniel Jones will be traded.
The Giants are probably looking for ways to get out of Jones’ $160-million contract, given his struggles last season.
Jones threw six interceptions, was sacked 30 times, and suffered a season-ending torn ACL last season.

The Daniel Jones slander is out of control. Played at a top 10 level (6th in QBR) two years ago. Had four starts from start to finish in 2023 and now he’s below every rookie QB and career backups?

Giants Have Enhanced Daniel Jones’ Supporting Team
The Giants chose to select
Malik Nabers with the 6th overall pick. Jones welcomed this decision because it provides him with a reliable top wide receiver, something he has been missing. Nabers’ capability to bring speedy plays from any position will turn even average throws from Jones into significant plays. He will rely on Nabers, but Jones can also depend on Wan’Dale Robinson
for potential yards after catches. As pointed out by CBS Sports’ Dan Schneier , Robinson’s threat will increase with Nabers on the field. A faster receiver group isn’t the sole reason to anticipate an improvement from Jones. The Giants also wisely upgraded the offensive line by signing guard
Jon Runyan Jr.
and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor in free agency. Both will assist new line coach Carmen Bricillo in strengthening a unit that didn’t give Jones, or any other Giants’ QB, a chance to succeed last season. Of course, it’s entirely possible that another quarterback on the roster could benefit more from these personnel changes than Jones. Backup expected to compete

Taking a pair of draft picks for Jones might allow the Giants to walk away from his contract fiasco quietly. That wouldn’t mitigate the damage done to this regime, though, so Daboll and Schoen are more likely to do all they can to help Jones, not facilitate his low-key exit.
