“I’m not going to speak too much on that. I’ve been in contact with him. Our friendship has stayed close throughout the whole process of me being here.
“It sucks to see how everything went down out there. But I have nothing but great things to say about him. You’re not gonna really find anybody that can really say any negative things about him, but it’s the NFL. Hopefully, wherever he ends up next, they’re going to get a guy who come in and work.
“It didn’t work for me over there. I’m doing well over here. Hopefully he can find the same kind of fresh start and success.”
The Giants announced on Monday that they benched Jones for Tommy DeVito. Jones was demoted to third-string quarterback on the depth chart. On Friday, the Giants revealed that Jones approached owner John Mara and asked for his release, which was granted.
