Impending free agent QB Daniel Jones, who led the Giants to their first playoff appearance since 2016, is changing his representation, as first reported by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.
The 25-year-old is leaving Creative Artists Agency for Athletes First, intending to sign a long-term contract this offseason. There is, however, the possibility that the change of agents could negatively impact negotiations with New York.
Last week, Raanan said a new deal for Jones should exceed $35 million per year, and according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, that’s accurate, though Jones is seeking much more.
Florio claims the QB wants at least $45 million annually, making him a viable candidate for the franchise tag. The window to use the tag opens on Tuesday and runs until March 7.
