Giants owner John Mara was asked about having buyer’s remorse on Daniel Jones.
“I’m still happy we gave him that contract because I thought he played really well for us in 2022,” Mara said of the four-year extension Jones signed in March 2023. “Last year, he got hurt. And let’s be honest: When he was playing, we weren’t blocking anybody. Let’s give him a chance with a better offensive line and some weapons around him to see what he can do.
“I was nervous about giving up too much to go get a quarterback,” Mara said, “but I was prepared to let them do that if that’s what they wanted to do. We made a decision to stay with Daniel and add a weapon for him, and I think that’s going to work out.” “I’m excited by what I see on the field,” Mara said. “He’s got some unique movement skills to him and a certain attitude about him.” “I check in with him from time to time, and he’s a professional — he understands this business,” Mara said.
“The more discussions we had, they came to us and said, ‘We’d really like to call it ‘Hard Knocks’ because that has a certain brand and appeal,’ ” Mara said. “It took a few conversations to convince me to go along with that. I think it worked out fine.”
