If no agreement was reached, the Giants were set to put the one-year franchise tag on Daniel Jones, a development neither side wanted.
“I think it was a big relief for everybody,” Schoen said of the deal finally being signed. “It was stressful enough for the three weeks as you’re going through the process, but with the time crunch at the end it was just added stress on top of it. I think there was a sense of relief on all parties afterwards. Gave some big hugs and then ran off to do the other things we needed to do before 4 o’clock.
Schoen said at times during the three weeks working with Athletes First to come to an agreement, the sides were quite far apart. “I know I’m stubborn, I know I like to dig in so some of that came out, probably different sides of me that those guys haven’t seen.”On Tuesday, Schoen wanted to impose a noon deadline to come to an agreement so there would not have to be a mad dash as 4 p.m. neared.
“The best deals are won when both parties are happy at the end and I think that’s the landing spot we came to.”
