According to sources, the New York Giants are planning to bring back their head coach Joe Judge and quarterback Daniel Jones in the year 2022.
Even though New York has already been eliminated from the playoffs, the Giants believe Judge and Jones should be given the chance to show their skills.
The Giants are expected to have difficult conversations with multiple members of the organization in an attempt to diagnose all that has gone wrong in recent seasons, and Judge will be a key part of those conversations.
The Giants' big change will involve general manager Dave Gettleman, who could decide to step down after four seasons with the team, according to many sources around the league.
A new GM could want to hire a new head coach rather than retain Judge, but those conversations would occur later in the season, and the Giants would convey their preference to keep Judge.
Despite some issues with his assistants, Judge has shown the Giants enough to make them want to see him succeed.
The Giants still believe that Jones can be effective despite the fact that he hasn't always received all the support he needs.
Jones will miss the rest of the season because of a neck injury. Jones had 2,428 yards, 10 touchdown, and seven interceptions. After committing 39 turnovers in 26 starts over his first two seasons, he cut down dramatically on his turnovers with 10 in 11 starts.
Mike Glennon has started the last three games in Jones' absence but has struggled, completing just 51% of his passes for 477 yards, two touchdown and five turnovers. The Giants have lost all three of their games.
Jake Fromm will make his first career start in the NFL on Sunday against the Eagles, according to sources.
The Giants have months to decide whether to pick up the fifth-year option on Jones' contract, and New York could keep him beyond the 2022 season with a long-term extension or a franchise tag.
