The Giants are releasing quarterback Daniel Jones, officially ending a disappointing run in New York that resulted in just one playoff appearance in six seasons.

The decision came after Jones, who was officially benched this week and demoted to the fourth-string, came to see team officials and asked for the release, the team said Friday.

"Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way," Giants president John Mara said in a statement on X.

"We are all disappointed in how things have worked out. We hold Daniel in high regard and have a great appreciation for him. We wish him nothing but the best in the future."

The quarterback addressed the media on Thursday for the first time since his benching was announced.
