NFL Network analyst Rich Eisen, who on a recent edition of his Rich Eisen Show made a case for the New York Giants having errored in their decision to pay quarterback Daniel Jones ahead of running back Saquon Barkley, was out with a new bold statement about the Giants quarterback based on what he heard at last week’s combine.
Eisen stated that the Giants, who gave Daniel Jones a four-year, $160 million contract but who have yet to get any return on that investment thanks to the quarterback’s regression last year before a season-ending knee injury, are “absolutely done” with Jones.

NFL Network analyst Rich Eisen, who on a recent edition of his Rich Eisen Show made a case for the New York Giants having errored in their decision to pay quarterback Daniel Jones ahead of running back Saquon Barkley, was out with a new bold statement about the Giants quarterback based on what he heard at last week’s combine.
Eisen stated that the Giants, who gave Daniel Jones a four-year, $160 million contract but who have yet to get any return on that investment thanks to the quarterback’s regression last year before a season-ending knee injury, are “absolutely done” with Jones.
Eisen, who on his March 4 show shared the top five rumors he heard during last week’s NFL combine, made the bold statement about 5:29 into the 13-minute video.
“Done,” Eisen said. “Might have to play him this year… The words I heard at the combine multiple times, two words were ‘buyer’s remorse.'”
General manager Joe Schoen, who represented the franchise during media interviews last week, has said that the expectation is for Jones, once recovered from a torn ACL, to be the starter.
However, with some uncertainty about when Jones will get the green light from the medical people, Schoen also said that the team has to add to its quarterback room and that he let Jones know that would be the case, citing the quarterback’s injury.
Eisen, who has been critical of the Giants’ decision to pay the quarterback, noted that Schoen and the Giants “have to say what they say publicly.”
Schoen has been careful to avoid criticizing Jones’s play last year, which appeared to regress even before he suffered his second neck injury in the last three years and the season-ending torn ACL.
