Saquon Barkley expresses support for Daniel Jones after his departure from the New York Giants.
Why it matters: Barkley's comments shed light on the strong bond between the two players and highlight the uncertainty surrounding Jones' future in the NFL.
Barkley's sympathy for Jones: "It sucks to see how everything went down for him over there. I've got nothing but great things to say about him."
What to watch: The next destination for Jones will be crucial in determining his future success. Barkley hopes that he can find a fresh start and achieve the same level of success he has experienced with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Barkley's hope for Jones: "Hopefully, wherever he ends up next, they're going to get a guy who can come in and work. It didn't work for me over there, and I'm doing well over here. Hopefully, he can find the same fresh start and success."
Yes, but: Despite Barkley's optimism, the Dallas Cowboys have made it clear that they are not interested in pursuing Jones, citing satisfaction with their current quarterbacks, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance.
Stephen Jones on the Cowboys' stance: "We're happy with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance in the short term."
What's new: Jones has been granted his release from the Giants, allowing him to explore opportunities with other teams.
Jones' future: As he goes through waivers, it is unlikely that any team will claim him due to the remaining value of his contract.
The bottom line: While Jones' departure from the Giants may have been disappointing, Barkley's support and the possibility of a fresh start offer hope for his future in the NFL. Time will tell where Jones will land and whether he can reignite his career.
