I feel a little bad for Daniel Jones.
There are only 32 GM's in the NFL. A player's chances of being rostered by an astute one are less than even odds.
Jones went from playing for a GM who decided the QB was worth paying before releasing him (Joe Schoen) to a GM who declared that he believed in Anthony Richardson the day before Jones was named the starting QB (Chris Ballard).
If the Daughters of Irsay decide to do some firing, I would can Ballard ASAP and give Coach Steichen a fighting chance to compete with a roster built by someone who knows what they're doing and doesn't have their career trajectory forever pegged to having the rug pulled out from under them by the retirement of Andrew Luck.
