What will happen with Daniel Jones the rest of this season?
Even though the Giants are 2-5 this season — after going 6-11 last year — Mara essentially guaranteed both men would return in 2025.
The secondary takeaway from Mara’s comments about Schoen and Daboll, if you indeed believe Mara won’t change his mind come January: They fully open the door for putting quarterback Daniel Jones in bubble wrap, to avoid being on the hook for his injury guarantee in 2025.“I’m not going to get into that,” he said.
Jones’ $30 million salary for next season is currently completely non-guaranteed — which is good for the Giants. But Jones has a $23 million injury guarantee — $12 million of which kicks in as a full guarantee at the start of the 2025 league year on March 12. This would essentially mean quitting on the 2024 season, because for all his flaws, Jones is better than his backup, Drew Lock. But if you take Mara’s comments Wednesday at face value — and again, it’s always possible he changes his mind after the season and cleans house — then Schoen and Daboll essentially have the green light to wave the white flag on this season at some point.
