Tom Brady isn’t a fan of how Daniel Jones handled his split with the New York Giants.
Brady was calling the Giants-Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game and shared his thoughts on the entire situation, which resulted in Jones signing with the Minnesota Vikings after Giants owner John Mara announced the team grande this release after he was benched.
“I don’t know how the whole situation went down, but to think that you would ask for a release from a team that committed a lot to you is maybe different than how I would’ve handled that,” Brady said.
“I always felt I wanted to get the trust and respect of my teammates, regardless situation, knowing that I was doing the best I could for the team because that was the most important thing.
“There’s just some different things that happen in the NFL, and everyone makes individual choices. And I think we’re all at points in our career, face different challenges. I faced them in college. Some things didn’t go the way I wanted, but the people that mattered the most to me were the guys in the locker room. I showed up every day. I don’t care if they asked me to be scout team safety, scout team quarterback. I was going to do whatever I could to help the team win.”

On one hand, you can’t blame Daniel Jones for asking for his release after the Giants benched him and demoted him to 4th string. But Tom Brady made some valid points, after all, it was the Giants who gave Jones a $160 million contract after one good year.
