He said it had nothing to do with getting him the ball more.
"Not so much that. Pretty much just me talking to (Jason Garrett) a little bit, and that’s two competitive guys right there. Moreso, just me wanting to do anything I can. Not so much, ‘Give me the ball more,’ though."

He said he and Garrett were all good and that he was happy with his role with the team.
"I’m happy with the role. I’d say I’m happy with the role. I’m getting put in some tough situations and (I’ve) got to make some tough catches, and that’s all I could ask for."

Jones said Thursday he thinks Golladay was just overly frustrated.
"I think he was frustrated with the situation, but I don’t think it was to me or anyone in particular. We’re all good. I love Kenny, I thought he played hard and did a lot of good things out there," the Giants’ quarterback said.
