Giants release Daniel Jones: What are salary cap ramifications? Will anyone claim him on waivers?
Officially, Jones will go on waivers now that he has been released. But he has a $35.5 million salary this season. No team is going to claim even the prorated portion of that — about $11.8 million. So once Jones passes through waivers — and he will — he’ll be a free agent, able to sign anywhere.
