I'm no expert on contract language but I am confident that the Giants have included outs.
No doubt $40 mil a year is a big number, but when you compare it to the other players, there aren't many QBs making less (that aren't on old/rookie contracts) that make you go "I can't believe QB X gets paid so much less than this Daniel Jones bum!" Many of those QBs making less will soon shoot past a Andy Dalton-esque Jones.
It's just where the market is at. QB being so disproportionately important to the success of a team creates this. In the NFL you have the teams that have a QB that can win you a Super Bowl, and everyone else. If a team thinks that they have one, they have to get paid.
