Jones thanked co-owner John Mara and Steve Tisch, saluted the fans, and classily shouldered responsibility for the team’s failures during his time as starting quarterback.

An emotional Jones also held back tears as he addressed his teammates, many of whom have shown public support, and acknowledged that he is giving consideration to requesting a release or leaving the team.

Finally, Jones threw the weight of his support behind Tommy DeVito, who will replace him on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Once a Giant, Always a Giant.
