Will Giants be forced to use franchise tag on Daniel Jones?
The Giants want Daniel Jones back in 2023. And it’s hard to argue the quarterback has not earned the right to stay.

What new report on Daniel Jones’ Giants future does, doesn’t say
The headlines will say the Giants are committing to Daniel Jones as their quarterback in 2023 and beyond. But that’s not exactly what NFL Network is reporting.

Who was New York’s top coach in 2022? Buck Showalter, Brian Daboll, more

MSG facial-recognition tactics even creepier than initially thought
The world knows Madison Square Garden has banned “adversarial” attorneys from its events and venues, including Knicks and Rangers games.

Mets’ Jeff McNeil crushed fastballs again in bounce-back 2022
