Jones' salary placed him tied for 13th in the league and will be declining each year. It's highly unlikely the Jones' camp would have agreed to a lower salary given the Giants' desire to have an out after two years.
I agree with you that not exercising his 5th year option was the wrong move.
However, giving him a new contract after the way he played in 2022 was definitely the right move.
The issue that I have was not the contract itself, but to me it was the size of the contract. If they were to have re-signed him in the range of around 30 million a year, then I think that is fair, but 40 million was too much.
As for your last statement, I would say it is yet to be determined, but this year we will all get our answer.
