The pre sure is on for quarterback Daniel Jones and his $40 million per year contract.Coming off a torn ACL that ended his 2023 season after six games and after mi sing a combined 17 games over the last three seasons due to injury, Jones must first prove he can stay healthy.Entering the second of a , Jones's future as the Giants quarterback is very much in question.However, co-owner and team president John Mara fully voiced his support for the 27-year-old quarterback."I'm still happy we gave (Jones) that contract because I thought he played really well for us in '22," . "Last year, he got hurt and let's be honest, when he was playing, we weren't blocking anybody Tug McGraw Jersey . So, let's give him a chance with a better offensive line with some weapons around him to see what he can do."Jones' contract is looking le s like a liability with the combination of an increased salary cap and an increase in quarterback contract value taking place around the league.However, the Giants still need more from a quarterback that is getting paid $40 million per year. Availability is Jones' first objective considering he's played a full season just once in his NFL career.The Giants did their homework on the 2024 draft cla s at the quarterback position and with the New England Patriots to get one. Ultimately, they stood pat at No. 6 and selected the sensational Malik Nabers."I was nervous about giving up too much to go and get a quarterback, but I was prepared to let (Schoen) do that if that's what they wanted to do," Mara said. "We made a decision to stay with Daniel and get a weapon for him, and I think that's going to work out."Jones has never thrown more than 15 touchdowns in a season, though he did have 22 total touchdowns in 2022. In such a quarterback-centric league, the Giants need more than that.We'll see if Mara is still feeling the same way about Jones' contract after the 2024 season.MORE GIANTS Jose Reyes Jersey
