New York Giants co-owner John Mara and his family have been around the NFL long enough to know not to label an upcoming season make-or-break for the front office and coaching staff. The Giants’ 100th season in the league is still more than a month away and everyone involved knows he and the fans are not happy with the 6-11 record in 2023.
New York Giants co-owner John Mara speaks to the media Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024, about his expectations for this football season after a news conference at Hackensack Medical Center in Hackensack, N.J., to celebrate a partnership with the hospital as the team commemorates its 100th NFL season. HACKENSACK, N.J. — New York Giants co-owner John Mara and his family have been around the NFL long enough to know not to label an upcoming season make-or-break for the front office and coaching staff.
“I obviously want to show significant improvement over last year, but I’m not going to make any specific guarantees or demands or anything like that,” Mara said Thursday after a joint news conference with Hackensack Meridian Health. Quarterback Daniel Jones has recovered quickly from an ACL injury in November. Running back Devin Singletary has looked good taking over for Saquon Barkley, who signed with the Eagles as a free agent.
It’s difficult to say how he will react if the Giants make the playoffs, but they still seem far away from a title. “I thought he played really well for us in ’22,” Mara said of Jones. “Last year he got hurt. Now, let’s be honest, when he was playing we weren’t blocking anybody. So let’s give him a chance with a better offensive line with some weapons.”
