< excerpt>

An anonymous NFL executive recently ripped the Giants’ decision to sign
Jones to a long-term deal, telling Mike Sando of The Athletic they
should have invested that money into Saquon Barkley instead.

“They would have been better off doing a bad deal with Saquon Barkley
and (franchise) tagging Jones rather than the other way around,” an exec
said. “Who was going to step out and pay Daniel Jones? That one was wild.”

Maybe that's why I'm not an NFL exec, because I agree with how the
Giants did it. There's no denying that Saquon will continue to be a
dominant back (barring injuries, of course), but there are a number of
dominant backs in the league and a few pretty good RB tandems. My point
is that he's not unique. A good QB who can handle playing in New York is
a rare commodity and when one is available, you sign him.

Key point---an ANONYMOUS executive, someone not willing to give his name to what he said.

If he thought the DJ contract was bad he must have had coronary after the Browns-Watson deal.
