JULY 24: Daboll confirmed Wednesday that Jones has received full clearance for camp. Daboll said (via ESPN.com’s Jordan Raanan) the sixth-year quarterback will participate in 11-on-11 drills for the first time this year. Continuing to put to rest any notion of a QB competition, Daboll added Jones will take every snap with the first-team offense during camp.
JULY 21: Daniel Jones has long been expected to be healthy in time for training camp. When providing an update on his health, the sixth-year Giants quarterback confirmed he will be 100% once summer practices commence. 
Jones told Peter Botte of the New York Post he “should be” ready in time for Wednesday, the Giants’ first training camp session. The 27-year-old has been rehabbing the ACL tear which ended his 2023 campaign, and he has not endured any setbacks to date. Jones participated in minicamp during the spring, though he did not take part in 11-on-11 drills.
That will of course change once training camp opens. Jones – whose future in New York has been a topic of considerable speculation during the offseason – will work with the first-team offense. Free agent signee Drew Lock is in place as a relatively experienced backup, but head coach Brian Daboll previously made it clear there will be no competition in the summer. Of course, that commitment to Jones will not put to rest concerns over his long-term Giants outlook.
New York was among the teams which made a concerted effort to trade up to the No. 3 slot and select a quarterback in April. To little surprise, Jones was not thrilled with that approach but he enters 2024 with the opportunity to stake his claim to a long-term stay in the Big Apple. Three years remain on the former first-rounder’s deal, though a potential out exists after the coming season.
For that reason, plenty is at stake as Jones prepares for his first campaign without running back Saquon Barkley in the fold. The latter departed in free agency after general manager Joe Schoen and Co. prioritized upgrades along the offensive line and at the skill positions during the offseason. Jones’ health is an area of concern as well given his injury history, but 2024 will at least begin on the right foot in that respect.
The way this offseason has gone, I see “cleared” in a headline and assume it’s about a felony investigation.
Only in New York could two bad teams playing out of the same stadium not be considered a crime 🙂
As everyone has said, for Jones this is a put up or shut up season. He needs to start fast and push the ball up field. No more check downs or holding the ball so long he gets sacked. If he doesn’t start fast Daboll will bench him for Locke and look towards the future. After all there is an injury clause in Jones contract that’ll guarantee 2025 season, and nobody wants that.
Don’t the Giants already have Tommy Cutlets as their QB2?
Make it or break it year. Literally.
Jones was not thrilled with that approach
======================
And I am quite sure the NYG weren’t overly thrilled thinking about replacing their $40M QB.
Giants bolstered their line and drafted a game-changing WR, so no more excuses about protection and DJ having no one to throw to.
News flash Danny – The Giants were not impressed with your ability to play QB in 2023.
This will be his final season in NY. Next year he will be holding a clipboard on a sideline in some other city.
Surprised NY went with Drew verses Tannehill. Ryan has shown he’s an adequate game manager with a half axsed support group. Lock is a bit more questionable especially under pressure from better defensives.
Though not a fan of either NJ club!
Maybe because Tannehill would want a lot more than the $5m that Drew cost?
Couple the price tag with the fact that the cries for Tannehill to take over would be loud after a single bad game. The people calling for a QB change won’t be as loud with Lock
F this guy. He’s never shown me anything.
If Sethesq hasn’t seen anything then there is nothing to be seen
So say we all
They need to shut him down, he has an injury guarantee in his contract – if he can’t pass a physical in March of ’25 his contract for next year (maybe more) becomes guaranteed. With his injury history I wouldn’t risk that. Shut him down and turn the page.
Except the GM needs him to show something or it will make his contract look even worse. Gambling on job security
That’s the problem. Coach and GM most likely have their jobs on the line this year.
Make or break year or they aim for Sanders or Carson Beck in the draft loo
QB Quinn Ewers (Texas) is another guy to keep an eye on.
Danny Dimes is never going to win a SB, time to cut bait and try again.
Agreed. And yes Ewers is a sleeper first rounder right up there with beck sanders and (possibly) DJ Uiagalei
Let the ‘draft’ games begin!
Mock drafts incoming!!
