Ryan Fitzpatrick suggests former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones "take the rest of the year off."

The decision to part ways with Jones was described as a mutual agreement, and Giants President and co-owner John Mara said moving on from Jones "would be best for him and for the team." Now that Jones has cleared waivers, he can explore options in the free agent market. 

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who played for nine teams during his career, offered the former Giants signal-caller some advice.
