The Giants will know exactly what the market is for Jones, Jones will know and his agent will know. Borderline, if not outright, tampering goes on. The Giants will sign him before he hits the market.
I have no idea what the number, years or guaranteed money will be. What I am pretty sure of is the same couple guys here will scream bloody murder over the contract, claim it sets back the organization for X years and call for firing Joe Schoen and Maras / Tisches to sell the team.
Or something like that.
So unless there's something going on we don't know about, the Giants are basically painted into a corner. The only other options are to let Jones go, and sign one of the other QB on the market, or to go with a rookie; which, I think they'd be reluctant to do, simply because of fan reaction, if nothing else. So unless something totally unforeseen happens, Jones will be back.
The real fun starts next season if Jones underperforms. 15 TD per year isn't going to cut it for $35 million. If he continues with his career numbers, and inconsistency, the fans and the media will eat him alive. This is a huge gamble for the Giants, one I hope we don't all live to regret.
